Inscription

The monument is erected
to memory of
Col. ABIJAH STEARNS
who departed this life
November the 6th 1783
in the 59th year of his age.
When you this monument behold
Where lies my mouldering dust
Remember you are doomed to die
And own the Sentence Just
Your bodies must return to Dust
to their Original
A Righteous Sentence past by God
for our first Parents fall.
