Inscription
In memory of
Mrs. Mary Stonehouse,
of Boston,
relict of the late
Capt. Robert Stonehouse.
She was drowned from the Portland Packet, July 12, 1807, aged 62 years.
From the cold bosom of the wave
Where others found a watr’y grave
This lifeless corpse was bourne, and here
The friends of virtue drop the tear
That mourn the much lamented dead.
But ah! What bitter tears are shed
For fathers, mothers, babes
who sleep In the dark mansions of the deep
Then young and old, and rich and poor prepare
For God may summons when you’r not aware.
(Drowned at Richmond's Island)
