COL. JOHN BULKLEY,
whose remains are here entomb'd,
departed this Life Decr ye 3d AD 1772 Æ 69 much lamented by those who knew him.
He left a sorrowful widow, four Daughters &
one son named JOHN by whom this family
tomb was built; who also departed this Life Decr ye 14th AD 1774 Æ 26 & whose remains are here deposited.
He was educated at Harvard College and took the degree of A.B. & A.M. in the years 1769 and 1772. A good natural genius improv'd by a liberel Education he employ'd in the study of Law but had only practiced as an attorney
a sufficient time to raise in his friends the most sanguine hopes of whatever great or good could reasonably be expected from an honest & benevolent heart, influenced by a good understanding and a prudent disposition, before a period was put to his Actions and designs; & his numerous Acquaintance were called to lament the death of a dutiful son- a loving brother- a faithful friend- a kind neighbor- a good citizen- an honest man.
