TOMBSTONES IN MILFORD. 11
" The first ground occupied for a burying place in the town, was a part of Mr. Prudden's home lot, being the east end of his garden. On the north side of it was a road called Prud- den's or burying yard lane, which has long been shut up. The first English person who died in Milford, was a son of William East aged a year: he died June 18th, 1644. The first adult, was Sarah, wife of Nicholas Camp. The records state that . she had twins on the 2d of September, 1645, and was doing well till the night of the 4th, when she was taken very ill with cold -- she died on the 6th (being the last day of the week) in the morning, and was buried the evening after, in the garden of Mr. Peter Prudden Pastour." Here were buried all who died in the town previous to about 1675, and among these was Mr. Prudden himself in 1656. The present burying ground was at first laid ont small, but the town since, at five different times, have purchased land adjoining and added to it. The original part is the southeast side."
Thus far wrote Lambert in 1838, but since then, great additions have been made to the area, principally by the pur- chase of private lots, and it is now one of the largest " Burying Grounds " in the State, that has in it graves of those born in England previous to 1640. A few oid stones on which but a few letters are legible, are not recorded in this book.

The writer is confident that many stones are missing.
Did not the comforting old sentiment that-" As I am now, so you must be," come from the tomb of Edward, the Black Prince, buried at Canterbury in 1630 ?
Whereon the following is said to be found :
By
Whoso thou be that passeth by Where these corps entombed lic, Understand what I shall say As at this time speak I may. Such as thou art sometime was I Such as I am, such shalt thou be ; I little thought, on th' hour of Death So long as I enjoyed breath. Great riches here I did possess, Whereof I made great Nobleness, I had gold, silver, Wardrobes, and Great treasure, Horses, Houses, Laud, But now a Caitiff, poor am I, Deep in the ground, Lo here I lie, My beauty great is all quite gone, My flesh is wasted to the bone, Nothing but Truth comes from my tongue, And if ye should see me this day I do not think but ye would say That I had never been a man, So much altered now I am. For God sake pray to the Heavenly King That he my soul to Heaven will bring, And all they that pray and make accord For me unto my God and Lord God place there in his Paradise Wherein no wretched Caitiff lies.
The engravings are furnished by William Miles Fowler (whose ancestors for seven generations are buried in Milford), copied from photographs taken by R. A. Lawrence of New York, also of Milford descent.
