Inscription
Sacred to the memory of
Rev. Thomas Goss, A.M.;
Pastor of the church among the Boltonians, who, for upwards of thirty nine years having exercised the sacred office, departed this life January 17th 1780, in the 63rd year of his age. A man adorned with piety, hospitality, friendliness, and other virtues; somewhat broken in body but endowed wth wonderful fortitude; he was the first among the clergy in these unhappy times to be grievously persecuted for boldly opposing those who were striving to maintain the ecclesiastical polity which was handed down by our ancestry. Friends erected this monument.
