HADKINS, Elizabeth (d.1767)
Epitaph in Cotham churchyard
"Stop Passenger, until my life you've read;
The living may get knowledge from ye dead;
Six times three years I liv'd a virgin life;
Seven times two years I was a virtuous wife;
Eight times six years I liv'd a widow chaste;
Tired of this mortal life; and now I rest"
(Noted by GUILFORD, Everard L. Nottinghamshire (London: Methuen & Co., 1910), p.79)
