Epitaph reads:
Here lies best of wives of mothers & of friend
Whose soul to (sic) good for earth in heaven attend
With joy and comfort till the day of doome
When all her virtuous deeds shall thither come
To save her neighbours she has spilt her blood
And like her saviour died for doing good
May that curst hand forget itself to feed
That made its benefator thus to bleed.
