Rebecca Nurse
Yarmouth, England
1621
Salem Mass
1692
O Christian Martyr
who for Truth could die
When all about thee
owned the hideous lie!
The world redeemed
from Superstition's sway
is breathing freer
for thy sake today

Accused of Witchcraft
She declared
"I am innocent and God will
clear my innocence!"
Once acquitted yet falsely
condemned She suffered
death July 19, 1692
In loving memory of her
Christian character
even when truly attested by
forty of her neighbors
This monument is erected
July 1885
