of her heart She faithful in all relations, social,
domestic, and religious. The House of God was her
delight and secret prayer her strong refuge Faithfully
did she adhere to the principles of the church of her
fathers When the church vexed she vexed,

Well DONE for He whom thou didst trust,
Has come; and to his dear bosom
Transferred thy true and faithful Spirit.
