of matrimonial comfort.

finding that she had lost the affections of her

husband, as well as the regard of her neighbors, family

disputes having been divulged by servants,

Her worn-out husband survived her four months

and two days, and departed this life November 28, 1768,

in the 54th year of his age.

William Bond, brother to the deceased, erected

this stone,

a weekly monitor to the surviving wives of this

parish, that they may avoid the infamy

of having their memories handed down to posterity

with a patch-work character.
