This has got to be one of the most descriptive tomb stones I think I've seen yet. I'm posting this mainly to show

The grave translated to modern English:
Sacred to the memory of the benevolent Mrs. Ruth: The very amiable. Consort of the Reverend Robert Robbins. Who departed this life in a sudden and awful manner: April 13th, 1769, in the 24th year of her age. Having lived in wedlock 3 months. See from her tomb, as from a humble shrine. Truth with radiant beams: Strikes on our Souls, and shows the real estimate of things. Nothing here below is sure but death. Not so much ours, as what's beyond your grave.
