In Filial Affections
In remembrance of these virtues
To the Hon. Jacob Greene
Whose Spirit bid Earth and
Friends adieu on the 8th day
Of Nov. AD 1808 in the 69th
Year of his age
Hi public life commenced in
Concert with that of his worthy and much
Regarded Brother, the late
Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene as distinguished
Shed in the Revolution of the United
States as exciting a testimony to the
Patriotism which secured the
Independence of the Country and then and

Distinguished probity and known as
To gain his Countries affection to the last.
Sh, cease surviving mourners, cease your tears
The Star recedes to shine in brighter spheres
