Inscription
Sacred to the Memory of Nathan Rockwell Esqr.
who deceased April the 14th
AD 1803 Aged 65 Years.
On this occasion the language of encomium might be highly appropriate, suffice it only to observe that faithfulness &am; integrity in the discharge of the several important Offices with which his country had long invested him, conjoined to an amiable deportment in private Life rendered him a valuable member of community, and endeared him to his numerous acquaintances. During his Life the Patriot the professional Christian and the practical moralls were presented with a pattern highly worthy their imitation. O Cruel Death! Neither the love of ones country, nor piety nor sweetness of manners, nor the love of friends nor the most splendid faculties of Body or Mind can avail against thy calls!
