1t Is not necessary to go TO the old church
yards OF England to find quaint epitaphs, A
| friend OF mine in Boston wrote me recently
That man named Church lost four wives.
VINO were buried In the same lot In the old
Cemetery at A'hol. Mass. In course OF time
II became necessary TO remove the remains
to another cemetery. The bereaved husband
undertook the Job himself but In conveying
the salnted dead In furniture wagon tho
bot es unfortunately got mixed and. when
| ready for reinterment he was unable to tell
which was Emily and which was Hannah, etc
beng very conscientious man. he feared 10
would be wrong to use the old headstones
so he procured new ones which were inscribed
as follows: Here lies Hannah Church, and
probably portion OF Emily who was born,
etc. On another stone as follows Sacred
to the memory Of Emily Church, who seems
to be mixed with Matilda who was born"
ETC. Then followed these lines:

For Emily Church lies buried here,

inscription:

Her limbs in tort'ring pains confined
That wrecked her joints tho not her MIND.

In cemetery at Bound Brook, NJ, may be
