Transcription

In Memory of Mrs. JEMIMA BRIGHAM, wife of Mr. Stephen Brigham, who died March 8th, 1790. Aged about 46 Years.

A person whose industry, O'conomy, Virtue & goodness, rendered her very Exemplary & amicable in life, & much lamented in Death. Her body lodg'd in gloomy day, Her Soul is fled t'eternal day, Enjoys a bliss to us unknown, And reaps the fruits of what She's sown.
