It is believed Elizabeth was visiting a daughter in Mason when she died. She had "come so far" (about ten miles) from Townsend, Mass., where her husband, Amos Heald, is buried and where she was probably living.

Inscription
Here lyes intered the re-
mains of Mrs. ELIZABETH
HEALD the relict of
Dea. AMOS HEALD (
late a Dea. of the church of
Christ in Concord whose
remains was buried in
Townsend) who died 12
March 1799 in the 85 year
of her age.
How strange O God who reigns on high
That I should come so far to die
And leve my friends where I was bred
To lay my bones with strangers dead
But I have hope when I arise
To dwell with God in yonder skies
