The headstone and foot stone for Mark Haskell

Memento Mori

Erected in Memory

of Mr. Mark Haskell

son of Deacon Mark

Haskell who departed

this Life Decr. 3d, 1783

In the 71st year of his

age.

This world's a shadow.  Life a span

Toil, pain & death the lot of man;

But grace substantial good supplies

Hope here & endless bliss above the skies.

In Memory of Mrs

HANNAH HASKELL, wife

of Mr. MARK HASKELL

who departed this Life

May: 13th 1783: Aged

62 years.

Blessed are the dead which die

in the Lord, that they may rest

from their Labours, & their works

do follow them. 

Mark Haskell is my 6th great grand uncle.  I descend from his sister, Lucy Haskell (1715 - 1789) who married Jabez Treadwell (they are also buried in this same cemetery).   Mark Haskell, was born 19 August 1713 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, the son of Mark Haskell (1687 - 1775) and Martha Tuthill.  He married in 1739 in Ipswich to Hannah Dutch.
