Inscription
Gravestone Inscription:
Mrs. Abigail Noyes
Relict of the Rev'd Joseph Noyes
of Newhaven
died in Wethersfield Oct. 10th 1768 AE 73
A Person of a very Amiable Character
and exemplary Conversation.
She excell'd in ye knowledge of ye Scriptures
which were ye Guide of her Youth
and the Support of her Age.
She left a large Legacy for Founding a School
in Newhaven for ye Instruction of poor Children,
A noble Indication
of her charitable Disposition.
Her epitaph:
Daughters of Eve, approach with decent awe,
From this fair Copy wise instructions draw.
The fairest Lines She wrote in female Life,
The Christian Neighbor, Sister, Parent, Wife.
Without one Blot in all the beauteous Roll,
Nor death can fix a period to the Scroll.
Ten thousand Ages hence shall bless her Name,
As long as live the Poor shall live her Fame.
From Wethersfield Inscriptions by
Tillotson 1899
