THIS STONE IS ALSO DEDICATED TO THE
MEMORY OF ANNE BRONTE, {1}

SHE DIED, AGED 27 YEARS, MAY 28TH, 1849,
AND WAS BURIED AT THE OLD CHURCH, SCARBORO.'

At the upper part of this tablet ample space is allowed between the lines
of the inscription; when the first memorials were written down, the
survivors, in their fond affection, thought little of the margin and
verge they were leaving for those who were still living. But as one dead
member of the household follows another fast to the grave, the lines are
pressed together, and the letters become small and cramped. After the
record of Anne's death, there is room for no other.

But one more of that generation--the last of that nursery of six little
motherless children--was yet to follow, before the survivor, the
childless and widowed father, found his rest. On another tablet, below
the first, the following record has been added to that mournful list:--

ADJOINING LIE THE REMAINS OF
CHARLOTTE, WIFE
