Inscription
Sacred to the memory of
John Jones Esquire
He was born in Sunbury, Georgia
November the 25th, 1772 and departed
This Life the 28th of March 1805
Aged 39 Years, 4 Months and
3 Days.
He was a dutiful Son, an affectionate
Husband, a tender Parent, a fond Brother
Sincere Friend, a humane Master a true
Respecter of Religion and a generous
Benefactor to the Poor.
Yes, we must follow soon, will glad obey,
When a few Suns have roll'd their Cares away,
Tired with vain Life, will close the willing eye:
'Tis the great Birthright of Mankind to die.
Blest be the Bark, that wafts us to the Shore,
Where Death-divided Friends shall part no more!
