    Inscription
    relict of the reverend John Hubbard...having that day completed her 70th year. An early Christian profession was adorned by her living to Christ With a rare tenderness of conscience she kept in view the glory of God in all the duties of her relations and conditions. Remarking the providence which numbereth the hairs of our heads she improved by every incident. The comforts of vital piety which she sensibly enjoyed were subject to intervals of extreme mental darkness Light is sown for the righteous.
