Here liest quite free from Lifes
Distreƒsing Care,
A loving Wife,
A tender Parent dear
Cut down in amidst of days
As you may see
But - stop - my Grief
To Soon shall equal be
When death shall stop my breath.
And end my Time
God grant my Dust
May mingle, then, with thine.
Sacred to the memory of M^rs.
Mary Nasson. wife of M^r. Samuel
Nasson who departed this life
Aug^st. 28^th 1774
Æt. 29

Apparently Mary's grave has developed a reputation for being the Witch's Grave. This is in part due to the uniqueness of her grave, which uses a headstone, a carved heelstone, and a large slab in between.
