Her pious and dutiful life was extended to an honorable old age and closed by an exemplary death. Her charity had its ***** in religion. Her love of her neighbour was the genuine seat of her love of God. Her rest ****** was the fruit of her faith and she died in hope because she had lived a Christian.” [Stone disintegrating. (*)

The Historical Sketch of 1892 gives 1827 as the date of her death; the “7” is now entirely gone. Several other words could not be positively deciphered.]
