"In memory of Mary Thomson the Mother of Scarborough who died the 8th of Novr. 1847 Aged 80 years. Here her remains repose side by side with those of her husband David Thomson whose gravestone tells the land of their Nativity and when they settled in Scarborough, which was then a wilderness. On the opposite bank of the passing Rivulet a little above this Burial ground they built their lonely cottage and there contended successfully against the hardships of a forest life and there she passed the first seven months after their settlement without seeing a woman and the first was an Indian. As her husband she lived and died respected leaving behind her above 100 descendants. As time runs on so families pass away; Ye living men improve the present day; O seek that home that lies beyond the grave; Employ all means this immortal soul to save."
