Inscription:
In Memory of 
MISS ELISABETH MIGHILL
who died Feb. 15th. 1796 Ætat. 22 1/2.
(Daughter of Mr. Jeremiah &
Mrs Sarah Mighill. And intended
Consort of Rev. Humphrey C. Perley

The young the virtuous, fair & wise, 
Though near pale death will close their eyes, 
But O their flesh in hope doth rest, 
Their souls will be forever blest.—
From me O friends in this cold urn, 
Receive advice & cease to mourn, 
Gird up your loins for death prepare 
And you in glory shall appear.
