"This monument,
created by filial affection is dedicated to
the memory of Oliver Leicester Phelps,
the son of Oliver Phelps, Esqr. who was
born at Granville, Massachusetts on the
22nd day of September, AD 1775 and died at Canandaigua the 11th day of March 1813 aged 37 years 6 months and 9 days. He was a husband ardent in his affections, a father indulgent to his children, a friend glowing and sincere in his attachments. And from principle he was allied to the spirits, institutions, and interests of our Republic.
In the meridian of his days he was suddenly removed from his afflicted family and the land of the living. And the history of his life affords a striking illustration of the truth that earthly prospects and the smiles of fortune do often deceive and that wealth, talents, and distinction afford no protection
against the approach of death."
