Rem nactus admondum ampliam
A claris Majoribus, antiquis loci incolis,
post gravisima munio dignie administrata,
in hac aede humatis acceptus;
Publicorum Officiorum nunquam appetens:
Quippe tranquillo provatoque Contentus Lare:
Parens numerosae et formosae prolis;
Nullius non bonus raeter valetudinem usus;

Here lyeth the Body of
LUCY BERKELEY, who Departed this
Life ye 16th day of December, 1716, in ye 33rd
Year of her Age, after she had been
Married 12 Years and 15 Days.  She left
behind her 5 children, viz., 2 Boys and 3
Girls.  I shall not pretend to give her full
Character; it would tak two much room
for a Grave stone; shall only say that
She never neglected her duty to her
Creator in Publick or Private.  She was
Charitable to the poor; a kind mistress
and indulgent mother & obedient wife.
She never in all the time she lived
with her Husband gave him so much
as once cause to be displeased with Her.

GRYMES, who departed
