Uncorrected OCR. Name spellings, dates, symbols and column order may be wrong. Verify against the original scan. Dexter’s historical transcription covers legible pre-1800 stones in the crypt, the Green and Grove Street Cemetery. Bold type identifies crypt entries; OCR does not preserve that distinction reliably. Historical stone locations are not modern grave coordinates. Read with the 1914 corrections.

Victims  to  the  Small  Pox
Free  from  this  dream  of  life  this  maze  of  Care
The  tender  Mother  reft  and  Children  here:
She  followed  Virtue  as  the  truest  guide
IJv'd  like  a  Chriftian-like  a  Chriftian  died
Who  knows  the  wounds  a  dying  friend  imparts
When  the  laft  Pang  divides  two  focial  hearts,
Thefe  bodies  were  not  removed  from  the
Ancient  Kurving  Ground.
