941. Sacred | To the memory of | ISAAC LOTHROP Esq. who departed this Life | the 25 of July 1808 | in the 75 year of his age.
MR. LOTHROP was the son of Isaac and Priscilla (Thomas) (Watson) Lothrop, and was born in Plymouth, December 11, 1735, the eldest of five children, and, like his father, was a merchant, as well as Judge. Ile was appointed Judge of Probate for the county of Norfolk, which office he held till his death. The unbending up- rightness of his conduct in his official capacity, the fidelity with which he discharged his duties, as well as his ability and gentlemanly bearing in all the works of life, will long be remembered with affectionate respect. He cherished with lively ardor a natu- ral fondness for antiquity, and so exalted was his veneration for pious planters in New England, who first landed in Plymouth, that he delighted in tracing their every foot- step, and the minutest circumstances of their history were treasured in his mind. Ile was one of the early members of the Pilgrim Society, and also one of the carliest members of the Humane Society.
"In his friendships he was steady, ardent and sincere; undisguised in his feelings, and removed from the least tincture of duplicity, his bosom was a sacred depository of confidential intercourse. If his prejudices were strong, they were invariably pointed at what he devoutly believed to be profligacy in principle, or dishonesty in practice. Such in fine was Mr. Lothrop's scrupulous integrity, such his thorough detestation of every species of iniquitous, or even temporizing procedure, that the inscription on the tombstone of his beloved father, would be an appropriate one for his own."-Thacher.

She however, unex- pectedly passed the | meridian of life, discharging, in a very | laudable manner, filial, parental & conjugal | duties. At length, the seeds of death were | planted in her vitals-she sickened, languished | and expired, in hopes of a blessed immortality.
Short is our longest day of life, And soon its prospect ends; Yet on that day's uncertain date Eternity depends.
