Inscription

Here Lyes ye Body of Mercy
ye wife of James Whitcumb
Junr Dec'd Septr. ye 20 1726
In ye 22d year of her age.

Save Fruitless tears and weep no more
She is not lost but gone before
Death is a haven towards which
All winds drive & where at last
Each mortall must arrive be therefor
Wise that when thy Corps Shall ly
An Anchor thus thy Soul may mount?
On high
