Young, Sara
In Latin: Sacred to the memory of Sara, only daughter of John Young DD, Dean of this Church, singularly loved, a virgin endowed with outstanding gifts, wholly devoted to Christ in life and death; here she awaits the resurrection of the blessed. In the year 1636 AD and aged 18, on the very day and hour of the Passion, she returned her soul to God whence she received it. Her god-fearing parents sent ahead their first fruits. Be mindful of the Lord’s coming, O wayfarer; death will come, and though ever wishing to live, learn how to die.
