Inscription

"A faithful officer, a sterling merchant, a devoted patriot, a zealous reformer, a true man, rests here."
"His life was a sublime triumph of moral power and love over brute force and cruelty."
"When the innocent in convicted the court is condemned."
"Remember them that are in bonds."
"'I propose to speak of Massachusetts institutions as I found them. They are whited sepulchres where I found not dead men's bones, but living men, women, and children undergoing daily, yes hourly, crucifixion and torment.' - Burnham Wardwell"
"Sick and in prison and ye visited me."
