Surname  Thompson    
Forename(s)  Anna Maria    
Year of Death  1817    
Inscription  Sacred to the Memory of Anna Maria, wife of Ebeneezer Thompson, who departed this transitory life almost without a warning, on 4th November 1817, at the early age of 20 years, leaving 4 helpless children, a disconsolate father and a truly affectionate husband, to mourn her irreparable loss in the several relations of daughter, wife, mother and friend. Long will she remain remembered with fond affection. - (Quotation) - Happy thy Eby who made thee his wife. Happy our dear babes who called thee Mamma. - (Quotation) - To commemorate her virtues this monument is erected by her severely afflicted husband, who alone is best able to judge of their influence and effects, and who is anxious to record this lasting testimony of the felicity of their conjugal union during a period of six years and eight days, being married 27th October 1811. Of the affection, love, gratitude, and reverence which he feels for her dear memory, and of the deep and indelible anguish which the premature loss of her has impressed upon his perturbed mind. Also to the memory of her infant son, who died October 28th 1816. - (Quotation)
