HANNAH
wife of
EZRA MELLEN,
DIED
June 15, 1851.
[Note: the stone is broken and repaired. If there is an age of death, it is so obscured that there is no clear hint of it, though an age of death of 79 would follow from the age of 78 per the 1850 census. The memorial page gives the maiden name of Cole, but the basis for this is unknown, and would require the marriage, the intentions and the death records of 2 of her children to all be incorrect. Source:Westmoreland History Committee. History of Westmoreland (Great Meadow), New Hampshire, 1741-1970, p. 384, says Jonathan Cole m. Edith Davis, not Lois Davis, and shows no daughter named Hannah. So barring additional evidence, it seems most likely somebody grasping for an answer and assuming wrong. No evidence of the assumed person or that Ezra's wife's maiden name was Cole has been located.]
