gravematter > Her children arise up
and call her blessed,
her husband also,
and he praiseth her.

gravematter > He sought not
the honor that cometh from man,
yet he received it. The wealth
with which God crowned
his industry, integrity and prudence,
he consecrated to the Giver.
An associate founder of
the Andover Seminary, and its
munificent benefactor, he lived to see,
from this fountain of sacred science,
the streams of missionary love
flow forth to the nations.
He was a father to the poor,
a wise counsellor,
and eminently a peace maker.
He came to his grave in a full age, like
as a shock of corn cometh in
in his season".

"When our obedient hands have done
a thousand works of righteousness
we put our trust in God alone
and glory in his pardoning grace."

gravematter > Mary White Brown
One in heart with her husband
in all his plans of
usefulness and beneficence,
and in his abounding hospitalities
her own quiet ministries of
sympathy and love were unceasing
from her presence none needy or
sorrowing turned comfortless away.
The joy of her own well ordered home,
her coming into any circle
brought warmth and gladness.
Of uncommon purity of life herself,
she had ever a mantle of charity
for the failings of others,
and always checked with mild rebuke
a consorious spirit.
A rare exemplification of
all womanly grace and excellence
the crowning beauty of her character
was the meek devotion with which she
sought the will of God and acceptance
with Him through Christ alone.
