Fanny Parker 1788

In Memory of
FANNY PARKER
daughter of Joseph
& Hannah Parker
who died January 20
1788
in the 4th Year
of her Age

Ob Juvenes ! Memento Mortis

While distant shores retain
Ye ashes of a son
Behold a daughter lies inter'd
Within this urn
Short sixteen years
This vital air he breath'd
While scarcely four
A daughter did survive

The inscription format is approximate. The epitaph also refers to Fanny's brother who died overseas.
