Inscription
In 1970 when I transcribed this stone for a project I was working on, the following was visible:
Here lies the body of Capt Nathaniel Phillips who died May 15th 1795 in the 82d year of his age.
In memory of Mr. John Phillips son of Capt Nathaniel Phillips & Mrs Joanna Phillips Supposed to be lost at sea AD 1762 in the 23d year of his age.
False are ye all & empty joys
Which on earth's surface dwell
Cheat me no more vain gilded toys
I bid ye all farewell.
