Sacred to the memory of MRS. SUSANNA STEARNS, relict of the Rev. Charles Stearns D. D. who died July 24, 1832; in the 78th year of her age.
Mrs. Stearns was a descendant of the first minister of Reading. Although destined to move in a humble sphere, yet, by the amiable qualities of her heart and a highly cul- tivated mind, she was distinguished ; and her society sought for and admired by those in the highest stations. Severe trials awaited her through a long pilgrimage, but she sus- tained them with christian fortitude and resignation; and in the full possession of her mental faculties, she spent the last years of her life in a calm preparation for her departure.
This monument erected by this Town in memory of their Late pastor, the REV. CHARLES STEARNS, D. D. who died July 26, 1826, in the 75 year of his age, and 45 of his ministry.
He was distinguished for high attainments in various branches of science; for strength and soundness of mind : for method and accuracy in reasoning, and facility in com- municating knowledge. By his piety, benevolence, and learning he gained the affection and respect of his beloved people, the esteem and confidence, of his numerous friends, and the well deserved honors of literary societies. His life was full of practical goodness; the genuine fruit of deep felt piety, and his death, of religious hope and peace. By the habitual exercise of faith, humility, patience, and charity, he exhibited christianity, in a strong and permanent light, and is gone, it is believed, to enjoy the rewards of a good and faithful servant of Jesus Christ.
