Inscription

Here the wicked cease from trou
bling & here the weary are at rest
Entombed is here deposited the
Dour remains of
Mrs. Margaret DeWitt
the amiable consort of
Garrit V H DeWitt
Who closed her eyes upon a
vain World Feb'y 11th 1794 aged 54
Her exemplary conduct in life
her unparelled patience
when wreck'd with pains
the most excruciating & her
perfect resignation in her last illness
disarm'd the King of Terrors
of his sting & softened him
to a Prince of peace.
