Cushman, Sarah K (Ramsay)
7/05/1813a - 7/01/1834
This stone is erected as / a memento of respect to / the memory of Sarah K. / [1st] wife of William Cushman / & daughter of John & / Abigail Ramsey late / of Rockingham, Vt. / who died July 1, 1834 / Aged 20 years 11 months / 25 days; If for departed worth, a pang of woe / Has torn thy breast or caused thy tears to flow, / Here give thy heart to weep, they pity lend / And mourn the wife, the sister, and the friend
This stone is a companion to #18, but it has a curved top--see #18 for description of the design. This one has a verse (above), and the panel at the bottom has the name of the company that made it (Farnsworth & Hough / Marble Works, Dorset, Vt.).
This stone is in even worse condition than #18.
The arrangement of the burials is a little different-- from the left, the 2nd wife, then the husband, then two children by the 2nd wife, then the first wife. Beyond Sarah is space enough for William and he probably got the matching stones, but Lydia probably wished to be buried to his right.
