Inscription
In Memory of
Miss Hannah Conant
eighth daughter of Mr.
Timothy & Hannah Conant
who
died Oct. 31st, 1791, in ye
15 year of her age.
Fair was the flower, and soft the vernal sky;
Elate with hope, we deem'd no tempest nigh;
When lo! a whirlwind's instantaneous gust,
Laid all its beauties withering in the dust.
