Inscription Here lies buried the Body of Mrs. Martha Silliman; wife of G. Selleck Silliman, Esq'r. who died August first, 1774 aged 41 Years, 1 Mon & 23 D. Sweet Soul, we leave thee to thy Rest: Enjoy thy Jesus and thy God. Till we from Bands of Clay releast. Spring out & Climb the Shining Road While the dear Dust she leaves behind Sleeps in thy Bosom, Sacred Grave or does she seek, or has she found her Babe Amongst the Infant Nation of the blest And claspt it to her Soul to Satiate there. That saw the Light & turned its Eyes aside From our dim Regions to the Eternal Sun And led the Parents Way to Glory. "Ye OLD BURYING GROUND OF FAIRFIELD, CONN." by Mrs. Kate Perry
