Experience Tarbox

First of all, awesome name.

Add Experience Tarbox of Wenham, MA to the list of the "depated."
Wenham Cemetery gets its best light in the late afternoon. Unfortunately, I was there at 11 a.m. and couldn't hang around all day. I had a tiny mirror, so Pete helped me illuminate the relevant part of the inscription.

HERE LYES BURIED
the BODY OF Mrs
EXPERIENe TaRBOX
WHO DEPAtED
THIS LIFe MaRCH
the 2nd 1739 &
in the 85th YEaR
OF HER AGE

Notice the strange mix of upper- and lower-case letters and the crossed capital Is.
