Inscription
Here lies buried the Body of
Mrs. ABIGAIL HALL,
wife of LYMAN HALL, M: A:
Daughter of THADDEUS BURR Esq'r.,
died July 8th. 1753 Aged 24 Years.
Modest, yet free, with innocence adorned;
To please and win, by Art and Nature formed;
Benevolent and wife, in Virtue firm;
Constant in Friendship, in Religion warm;
A partner tender, unaffected, kind.
A lovely Form, with a more lovely mind,--
The Scene of Life, tho' short sh' improved so well,
No Charms in human forms could more excel;
Christ's Life her copy; His pure law her Guide;
Each part She acted, perfected, and dy'd.
"Ye Old Burying Ground of Fairfield, Conn." by Mrs. Kate Perry
