Inscription
In Memory of
Capt. John Collins.
Born March 21, 1752;
Died Aug. 21, 1824.
Sure the last end
Of the goodman is peace. How calm his exit.
Night dews fall not more gently to the ground,
Nor weary worn out minds expire so soft.
[Recorded by Jeanne Stella in her 2001 cemetery survey “Howard Street Inscriptions, 1801 – 1852”, available in the Salem Public Library.]
