Inscription EG2 Index Plan < Prev. Next >

A tall stone with sinuous top (three central rounds and rosettes on the shoulders); the inscription in large letters, but with the poem italicised:

In Memory of
Mary, Wife of John SPARKS,
who departed this life Jany18th
1807 aged 42 years.
Affliction sore, Two years I bore;
Physicians were in vain.
The Lord did please to call me hence
And ease me of my pain.

Haslewood p26.
