Sacred to the memory of Deacon Benjamin Gaylord who died...
in the 71st year of his age, having sustained an office in the church 31 years.
Death's fatal shafts the Nervous arm unstrung
And rest the mouldering body in the Tomb
The Soul Triumphant to his God has flown
And shines a laurel in Messiahs crown.
