Inscription

Headstone:
"HERE LYETH / BURIED Ye BODY / OF JOSEPH / BARTLETT WHO / DEPARTED THIS / LIFE APRILL Ye 9 / 1703 / IN Ye 38'th YEAR / OF HIS AGE."
Footstone, found in the 1800s 20 feet away to the NE and across the path, is now 6 feet from the headstone, which (if either) location marks the actual resting place of his bones is unknown:
" J. B. / Thousands of years after blest Abell's fall, / Twas said of him being dead he speakth yet; / From silent grave me thinks I hear a call, / Pray fellow mortal, don't your death forget / You that your eyes cast on this grave, / Know you a dying time must have."
