Tombstone Tuesday

I love the headstone of my fourth great grandmother, Sarah Sanborn Chapman. She is buried in the middle of a farm field in Brownington, Orleans County, Vermont. The North Brownington Cemetery is the town's first burial ground. I do have her ancestry but know little else about her. This area of Vermont is still unspoiled and rural, her life could not have been an easy one. I hope she was happy and loved.

The verse on her tombstone reads:

Although of a mother berefit

Why sho'd we longer complain

Since all troubles on earth she has left

Forever in heaven to reign.
