Ground slab, Mrs. Hannah Taylor Consort of Mr William Taylor, Merchant of this City Who departed this life on the 23rd of January 1812 Aged 50 Years. She was highly distinguished for the equanimity and sweetness of her temper, beloved for the benevolence of her heart and admired for her ingenuous and social manners.
She was sincere, benevolent and kind;
Possess'd the Riches of the purest mind;
Was friendship's bliss, the pride and joy of life,
The Orphan's friend, the mild endearing wife.
Each female worth and every vitue fair,
Grew in her bosom, liv'd and flourished there.
Her wit, in converse, charm'd the social mind;
Her worth in absence, left a void behind.
Born to be good and proud of Virtue's road,
She would not leave it, and it led to God:
Left husbands, friends, relations, servants here;
But left not one who did not shed a tear.
This monument has been erected by her husband as a token of his esteem and as a
tribute to her many virtues.
