Inscription

Erected to the memory of/Major Joseph McJunkin/Born June 22, 1755/Died May 31, 1846
He commenced the service of his country in/ the war for its independence as a private/ soldier, never ceased from that service till/ the war closed, when he held a major's/ commission.
He was a useful and upright citizen through/ the period of manhood, promoted diligently/ the best interests of society./He was a ruling elder of the/ Presbyterian Church for a period of 60 years."

"But, mark the man of holy fear--/ How blest is his decease!/He spends his days in duty here/And leaves the world in peace."
