Inscription

In Memory of Mrs
Sufannah Wife of
Capt. Jofeph Crafts
Efqr. Who Died
Auguft the 26th
1786 in the 83d
Year of her
Age.

Behold all you that paffeth by
As you are now so once was i
As i am now so you muft be
Prepare for death & follow me.

Based on the inscription, on the day Susanna(h) died she was purportedly 82 years old, and Aetatis (i.e., Æ, "Aged," in the XX year of her Age, etc.) 83. However, in that her husband's gravestone inscription incorrectly states his age at death, see bio discussion regarding her possible parentage and date of birth.
