Epitaphs

The epitaphs on this page are from the stones featured on the previous pages
Naked as from the earth we came

and crept to life at first

We to earth return again

and mingle with our dust

(Elias Lyman, Southampton, MA)

If social Manners, if the gent'lest Mind,

If Zeal for God and Love for human kind;

If all the Charities which Life endear;

May claim Affection or demand a Tear;

Then Penrose o'er thy venerable Urn,

Domestic Love may weep, and Friendship mourn

(Mrs Philura, Hinsdale, MA)

No mortal woes

Can reach the peaceful sleeper here

ForAngels watch his soft repose

(Asa Pearce, Hinsdale, MA)
