Jemima Hopkins

In memory of
Mrs JEMIMA HOPKINS
Wife to Mr BENJ'n HOPKINS

My friends pray stop awhile
Here I'm buried with my Child
Now we're moldring into Dust
In hopes to rise among the Just

The tympanum contains a good winged skull perched on a curved base perhaps ready to fly. Part of the gravestone front has broken off but otherwise the stone is in good condition.
