| Eunice Angier, 1771, East Bridgewater, MA |
Here lies the Body of
Mrs. EUNICE ANGIER
Sister of the
Revd Mr. JOHN ANGIER
who departed this life
October 5th 1771
having a little before
compleated the 73d
year of her Age
This is an interesting epitaph because it defines the deceased — an elderly, seemingly unmarried woman — in terms of her relationship to her brother. Other women's stones generally call them the daughter or wife of so-and-so, but "sister of" is quite rare.
