From the the February 12, 1773 issue:

On the 28th of January,1773 Mrs. Mathabel Brainerd, widow of Capt. Joshua Brainerd of East Haddam, had her breakfast that morning with a good appetite. Upon rising from the table, she suddenly complained of a great pain in her head and was soon thereafter in great pain throughout her body, which held for about an hour when the pain entirely left her. In which condition she remained about an hour and expired in the 87th year of her life after never having had a bit of sickness.

There is no gravestone for Mehitable, wife of Joshua Brainerd, Her grave is marked by a fieldstone on the right side of her husband's. As far as it is ascertained, this fieldstone has no initials or data on it.
