- Inscription:
Beneath this stone
are deposited the remains of
Winney Neville
who was born November the 14th, 1736
and died April the 3rd, 1797
Aged 60 years, 4 months, and 14 days
Here in just hope above the Stars to rise
The mortal part of Winney Neville lies.
In whom those beauties of a spotless mind,
Faith and good works were happily combined;
A patient, careful, constant, loving wife.
The foe of Scandal & domestic strife,
The tender Mother, undesembling Friend,
Who grac'd those virtues with a pious end;
Who still preserving an unblemished name,
Did never strive to taint a Neighbor's fame;
Who played, as all who live should do, her part
With inward Peace & Rectitude of Heart.
Who, Christian like, resigned her final breath
and, Dying free from Censure, smiled at Death.
