Inscription [East side]
In memory of
ELIZABETH
wife of
William W. Woolsey
and daughter of
Timothy & Mary Dwight
of Northampton Mass.
who died Dec. 8, 1813. AE 42.

Inscription [West side]
She understood with uncommon discernment
and regarded it in her life
with humility & with reverence.
On her death bed,
she found its consolation
with delightful peace & love,
and at the close of a long & distressing disease
fell into a sweet sleep
and left the World without a struggle.
Fair Stranger
mayest thou live & die
in the same manner.
