Inscription

" IN MEMORY OF
MRS. JOANNA STORY
CONSORT OF
WILLIAM STORY ESQR
Ob. 16th July 1775.
AEtat: 58_ "


epitaph (transcription):

"She was meek in her Disposition,
Sincere in her Friendship,
And to the needy Liberal,
An excellent step-mother,
And a most devout Christian.

The angels call
They call me from above,
And bid me hasten to the
Realms of love,
My soul with transport hears
The Happy doom,
I come ye gentle messengers, I come."
