Her corpse was removed on the 31st of December to an undertaker's in Oxford Street, where it remained till the interment. On the 2nd of January, 1815, it was carried in a hearse, so remarkably plain, as to have the appearance of one returning from rather than proceeding to church; it was accompanied by one coach equally plain, in which were three mourners. In this manner they proceeded to the new cemetery adjoining St. John's Wood Chapel, with such secrecy, that there was scarcely a person in the ground unconnected with it. A fourth person arrived as the body was being borne to the grave; this was supposed to be Tozer. The grave was taken, and notice given of the funeral, under the name of Goddard. Neither the minister of St. John's, who read the service, nor any of the subordinate persons belonging to the chapel, were apprised of the real name about to be buried, till the funeral reached the ground. The grave is on the west side, opposite No. 44 on the wall, and twenty-six feet from it, where is a flat stone with this inscription:-- "In memory of JOANNA SOUTHCOTE, who departed this life December 27, 1814, aged 65 years. While through all thy wondrous days, Heaven and earth enraptur'd gazed, While vain Sages think they know Secrets Thou Alone canst show; Time alone will tell what hour Thou'lt appear to 'Greater' Power. _Sabineus._" On a black marble tablet, let into the wall opposite to the above spot, is the following inscription, in gilt letters:-- "Behold the time shall come, that these Tokens which I have told Thee, shall come to pass, and the Bride shall Appear, and She coming forth, shall be seen, that now is withdrawn from the Earth." 2nd of Esdras, chap. 7, verse 26. "For the Vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and Not Lie, though it tarry, Wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Habakkuk, chap. ii. ver. 3d. "And whosoever is delivered from the Foresaid evils, shall see My Wonders." 2nd of Esdras, chap. 7th, ver. 27th. (_See her writings._) This Tablet was Erected, By the sincere friends of the above, Anno Domini, 1828. The number of Joanna's followers continued to be very great for many years after her death: they believed that there would be a resurrection of her body, and that she was still to be the mother of the promised Shiloh.
