Aged 73.

Mrs. Olive,
wife of
Joseph Morse,
died
May 31, 1838;
Aged 52
How softly on his head the mantle fell,
Of deaths her eye, her swailing cheek could tell;
No sinful murmurings curb'd religions power,
No groans of anguish shook the dying hour;
Not even parting could her peace remove,
She mir'd the christian's with the mother's love;
And all must avow-who saw her spirit go,
Here sleeps the saint, whose Heaven began below.
