While this stone shall last, let it commemorate
A deacon of the church in this place, who, March 9th 1795 aged 42 departed this life- a man of an honest & noble heart, and though without office, was capable in any office, of doing honour to his Country.
- Columns and Urns but vainly show
- A Scene of decorated woe.
- The friend who's faithful and sincere,
- Will need no help to force the tear,
- Regardless of the labourd verse,
- It flows spontaneous o'er his hearse.
- And flow it will, while virtue's friend,
- Or kindred souls a tear can lend.
He resided Westfield, MA.
