Carver: Caleb Lamson II
"20 years in pleasing life I liv'd at first
11 years then married with now my left hand
dust
3 years I past a sorrowfull widows life
17 years more I liv'd a married Wife
O my friends, I beg a place in your cold bed
That I may rest my painful limbs & akeing head
For with joy I yeild my dust with yours to lie
In hope my soul may be with God to all
eternity."
Her first husband is buried to her left, hence "my left hand dust."
