WOMEN OF THE REVOLUTION
Read the fresh annals of our land the gathering dust of time
Nor yet has fallen on the scroll to dim the tale sublime;
There woman's glory proudly shines, for willingly she gave Her costliest offerings to uphold the generous and the brave
Who fought her country's battles well; and oft she perilled life,
To save a father, brother, friend, In those dark years of strife.
Whatever strong-armed man hath wrought, whatever he hath won,
That goal hath woman also reached, that action has she done.
Mary M Chase

note* name spelling is also seen as Susannah Schlern.
Her name is inscribed on this monument, her mortal remains most likely lie in the Old Pine Church Cemetery just down the rd where she was placed to rest beside her husband. The tombstones from this old cemetery were relocated to this new cemetery in 1868.
