According to the Phillipston Vital Records to 1850, Sophia died at Bernadston "en accouchment" (or in childbirth) Jan. 29. Her remains, with her infant, were conveyed to Phillipston, Jan. 30, interred Feb. 1.
It sounds like her child died as well. Is her infant buried with her? If so he or she is not mentioned on the gravestone.
