Inscription
George A. Baxter, D. D., elected Professor of Christian Theology in Union Seminary A. D. 1831. Born June 1772; died April 24, 1841. Aged 68 years.
Endowed with genius by nature, with grace by the Holy Spirit; a profound Theologian, and able Professor. He had the charity of a Christian; and exemplified the gospel by his life.
[Theology was read in Latin in Dr. Baxter's day and it was considered the proper thing that there should be a Latin inscription of some length to his memory. So on the other side of the modest monument we find this inscription:]
