Inscription
Erected
to the Memory of
Mrs MEHETABEL Wife
of Capt. THOS ATWOOD,
who died Jan 14, 1809,
In the 38 year of her Age.
In early life, her feeble constitution
gave painful premonitions of her early
exit. She however, unexpectedly passed the
meridian of life, discharging, in a very
laudable manner, filial, parental & conjugal
duties. At length, the seeds of death were
planted in her vitals - she sickened, languished
and expired, in hopes of a blessed immortality.
Short is our longest day of life,
And soon its prospect ends;
Yet on that day's uncertain date
Eternity depends.
