Memento mori
Here lies
Buried the Body of Mrs. Dorcas
Abbot the wife of Deacon
Jonathan Abbot and daughter
of Oliver Whiting Esqr. who
Departed this life Decemr. 23
1765 in the 73d Year of her age.
Dear friends for me pray do not weep
I am not dead but here do sleep,
Within this solid lump of clay,
Until the Resurection day
And here indeed I must Remain
Till Christ doth raise me up again.
