He ' ' departed this life" in 171 1, and his wife, Mary, did not rest beside him until thirty-one years later.
And here is "Mr. Caleb Trowbridge who departed this life Septem' y*^ loth Anno Do. 1704. " At a little distance is a curious stone, repeating in the warning " sic transit gloria mundi, " the lesson of a faintly sculptured sun-dial. Beneath lies " Capt. Joseph Trowbridge, " who died in 1749.
A very plump and happy cherub smiles from the stone over Mrs. Sarah Whiting, the daughter of Jon...athan Ingersoll, of Milford ; and it seems to show the glad contrast between her "wearisome pilgrimage" and her "joyful hope of a glorious immortality. " Everyone who examines old gravestone inscriptions must be struck by the evidence that the next world seemed very near to the people of those times, that its joys grew real in proportion as the discomforts of the present life were pressing.
A New Haven Church.
37 Several of the monuments are in the table form and bear long inscriptions. One commemorates the a(5tive career of Jared Ingersoll, a man of distinguished position and ability, who died in 1781, " having been judge of the Court of Vice- Admiralty, twice Agent for Connedticut at the Court of Great Britain.
