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.
