The grave stone of Mehetabel Gearfeild is one of the few in our grounds which bear the unmistakeable impress of native talent. It closely corresponds in style with those of Samuel and Thomas Bridge of Cambridge, bearing date of 1673, and with the one of Sarah Haman in this ground, of 1674, - all doubtless cut by one hand. (Harris' Epitaphs) Note: the Farber Gravestone Collection could not identify the carver.
