As it was not needed where it was he thought he would use it where it was needed. he was very much surprised to find that it was a grave stone. On it was this inscription: ‘In memory of Emily daughter o Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Eunice Smith, who died April 15, 1814, aged 6 months and 15 day Rest thou sweet slumberer jin the peaceful grave, Short was the date, should be Except the few who drowned in sor- row wave, With painful peasure still remember thee.” How or why the stone came to be where it was found no one seems to know.

Prev- ious to its purchase by Mr. Phillips, a family named Newcomb had occupied the place for 40 years.
