of Mrs. Mary McHard
the virtuous & amiabe Conƒort of
Capt. William McHard
of Newbury Port, who amidƒt the
laudable exertions of avery uƒeful
& deƒireable life, in which her
Chriƒtian Profeƒƒion was well adorned
and a fair copy of every ƒocial vir-
tue diƒplayed, was in a ƒtate of
health ƒuddenly ƒummoned to
the Skies & ƒnatched from ye eager
embraces of her friends, (and the
throbbing hearts of her diƒconƒo
late family confeƒƒed their faireƒt
proƒpects of ƒublunary bleƒs were,
in one moment daƒhed) by ƒwal-
lowing a Pea at her own table;
whence in a few hours ƒhe ƒweetly
breathed her Soul away into her
SAVIOURS arms on the 8th day
of March A.D. 1780 Æt. tis 47
This mournful ƒtone, a faithful
Monument of Virtue ???????? ??????????
