In Memory of
EMELINE DEXTER
Daughter of
John & Judith Dexter
who died
May 17, 1728;
aged 19 years.
How blest is our friend - now bereft
Of all that could burden her mind.
How happy the soul that has left
This wearisome body behind?
This heart is no longer the seat
Of trouble and torturing pain;
It ceases to flutter and beat -
It never shall flutter again.
