Inscription
Memento Mori
In Memory of
Dean. Thomas Stearns
who Departed this life April 29,
1785, in the 74th year of his age.
Tho Death a Mighty Victor Stand
And Loth to Yield his Prey,
Yet by the Power of God's Command
Resistless must obey
Tho in the Grave my Body lie,
Slain by Deaths fatel wound
The wish'd for hour with Speed Draws Nigh
That frees men from the Ground
When the [ ?? ] trump shall Call
The dead [?? ] then arise
May I with [?? ] immortal all
Be Welcome [ ?? ] the Skies.
Happy is the [ ?? ] that Makes God his Refuge
Gravesite Details
Stone was split in two and has been rather poorly plastered back together
