Inscription
Here lie the remains of
Mrs Sarah Abbot
who died April 11th 1801
Aged 56 years
Also Gen'l Stephen Abbot
who died Aug. 9th 1819
Aged 64 years
While hold friendship drops the pious tear
And mournful garlands deck the hallowed bier;
Can bounteous heaven a greater Solace give
Than that which whispers friends departed live
