Sacred to the Memory of Mr. Jared Bates (Today's Epitaph)

(From Lincoln, Maine - 1800)

Sacred to the Memory of Mr.
Jared Bates who Died Aug. the 6th
1800. His Widow aged 24 who mourns
as one who can be comforted lives
at 7 Elm Street this village
and possesses every qualification
for a good wife.

Is it just me, or do these words seem to be advertising the widow Bates is ready for another marriage?
