Lucy Eldridge 1794

headstone

Sacred
to the Memory of
Mrs LUCY ELDRIDGE
Consort of
Captain John Eldridge Jun'r
who died Nov'r 18 1794
aged 27 years

I bid my friends and all farewell
And in the grave a while must dwell
And here lie mouldering in the ground
Till the last trumpet's joyfull sound
For then I hope to rise from dust
And live in heaven with the just
Where Saints & angels are divine
Who all in love and glory shine

The gravestone displays a winged head.
