Inscription
Erected as a testimonial of affection
And esteem to the memory
Of Margaret Greene, wife of the
Hon. Jacob Greene
Who yielded up the spirit of her
Earthly casket to God on the
13th day of Dec. 1802 in the
63rd year of her age
Her life was marked with such a
Distinguished practice of the combined
Parental and social virtues as to
Spread a luster upon all of her friends
And connections and gain universal
Admiration and esteem though worried
At last by a lingering and distressing
Illness it only increased her love
And practice of the Christian virtues
As a foretaste of the blessings that wait
The spirits of the just who die in the
Lord
Death cannot make our souls afraid
If God be with us there
We may walk through the darkest shade
And never yield to fear
