Gravestone of the Day

Elizabeth Russell, 1771, Marblehead, MA

Here lies interr'd, ye Remains
of MADAM ELIZABETH RUSSELL,
who Departed this Life Feby.
the 4th. 1771. AE: 80 Years

Weep not for me my Son most dear,
I am not Dead, but Sleeping here,
My debts are paid, my grave you see,
Wait but a While, you'll follow me.

The Memory of the Just is Blessed.

The Righteous shall be had in
Everlasting Remembrence.
