Inscription

Here lies the body of ye Revd
Mr. Samule Pumroy who depd
This life the 30th of June 1744,
In the 57th year of his age.
Kind earth keep safe my sleeping dust
Till christ shall raise it with the just;
My ministerial work is just done,
For you, dear people of Newtown.
Years almost thirty-six I try'd
To spouse you for christ Jesus' bride.
If you do still refuse to hear,
Gainst you at last I must appear,
When Christ shall come to raise the dead
And call me from this gloomy bed."
