Text Appearing Before Image:
ave of Mrs. Ammey Hunt, who died in 1769. We haveno clue to the neighborhood gossip hinted at in these peculiarlines: A sister of Sarah Lucas lieth here,Whom I did Love mo/t Dear;And now her Soul hath took its Flight,And bid her Spightful Foes good Night. Even more amusing is the tradition connected with the fol-lowing conventional stanza on the stone of Mrs. Mary Huntley: Stop here my friends & cast an eye,As you are now, so once was I;As I am now, so you must be,Prepare for death and follow me. A young wag is said to have added in chalk: To follow you Im not contentUnless I know which way you went. Some of the other more interesting epitaphs follow: Henry D. Emerson, d. Aug. 16, 1840, aged 4: Like a bright flower he was cut down. Peter Gilman, April 12, 1807, aged 42 : Stop my friends, and in a mirroir/eeWhat you, though eer so healthy, soon niu/t be.Beauty, with all her rosebuds, paints each face;Approaching death will strip you of each grace. Mrs. Betsy Pitman, 1784, aged 27 :

Elijah Swift, May 9, L803, aged 7:;: A wits a featlior, and a chief s a rod ; An honest mans the noblest work of God. Mrs. Eliza Fuller, Sept. 16, L806, aged 22: An angels arm can t snatch me from the grave,Legions of angels cant confine me there. On an old monument near the Winslow tomb: A SAMUEL returned to God in ChristAfter a short abode on earthTo shun earths barmes and crimesWas here well put to bed betimesThe graves as short as you prepareLest thy death come at unaware. James Seward, died 1792, aged G months : He bore a lingering sickness with patierfce, and met the King ofTerrors with a smile. The prophecy contained in the following inscription on thestone of Major John Ruddock, who died in 1772, was literallyfulfilled, the words having almost entirely disappeared : Time may efface this monumental stone,But time nor malice can his worth
