Old Montague epitaphs

Very striking epitaphs from Montague, MA:

Cyrus, son of Mr
Joseph + Mrs
Annas Cunn
Perished in the
Woods on the
Night of the first
of Dec. 1809, ag.
3 ys. + 11 mon.

When bending o'er this sculptur'd stone
You weep my fate, or mourn your own;
Spurn not the narrow bounded tomb,
Here's space enough to give you room.

In memory of Mr.
Phineas, son of Dea. Silas +
Mrs Mary Hosmer, who died
July 10, 1832 Aged 19 years + 7 mo.
In attempting to swim across the Connec
ticut, with Mr. Samuel Marsh Jr, his strength
failed + both turned to regain the shore; Marsh
succeeded, + seeing his friend sinking, his generous
heart induced him to return to save him + both
sunk together, not to rise, until their immortal
spirits had ascended to their God, where we trust
he is celebrating the praises of that Redeemer of
which he was a professed follower while with us.
He was amiable in life, may the living imitate
his virtues, + be prepared to meet the King of Terrors.
My fathers house mourn not for me
With Christ I reign: Oh! May you join with me again.

In memory of Mr. Elijah Bardwell
who died Jan'ry 26th 1786 in ye 27th
year of his Age, having but a few days
survived ye fatal night when he was
flung from his horse, + drawn by ye stirrup
26 rods along ye path as appear'd by ye place
where his hat was found + where he had
spent ye whole following severe cold night
treading ye snow in a small circle. The
family he left was an aged father, a wife
and 3 small children.
On this side Death man's dangers never cease
Beyond ye virtuous share eternal peace

How short the race our friend has run,
Cut down in all his bloom!
The course but yesterday begun
Now finished in the tomb!

Come fellow mortals come behold
The grave devours both young + old
Up and prepare for the same fate
Don't loiter till it be too late.
