Name: Mary Fowler
Location: Milford, CT
Date: 1792
Carver: Thomas Gold
This picture was taken by me sometime in the late 80s, I think. The stone has been on display in the Milford Historical Society since 2009.
The epitaph is famous among enthusiasts:
Molly tho pleasant in her day
Was sudd'nly seiz'd and sent away
How soon shes ripe how soon shes rott'n
Sent to her grave, & soon for gott'n.
Mary was 24 and unmarried.
