Sarah Ogden
My favourite graves are those dated to before the 1800's. I like the often simple style, the archaic language and the fact that they have managed to survive for so long.
This example was found in the graveyard of St Nicholas church, Leicester, England. It reads:
Here Lyeth
Interred the Body of
Sarah the Wife of Joseph
Ogden who Departed
this life October the 30th
Anno Domi 1717
Aged (57)
A best guess for the age of Sarah, as it was not very clear.
