Inscription

In memory of Capt. Samuel Hunt who died very suddenly of an apoplictick fit Feb. 28th A. D.
1770 In the 67 year of his age.
"Trust not in uncertain riches
But in the living God
My children, friends, spectators all who
view This marble stone this motto learn tis true
Health, wealth, and honours all are empty
things
They fly with quicker speed than eagles
wings
Death sudden Death the Bubble quickly
bursts
And sinks the Owner instantly in Dust
Th industrious frugal Hand its action cease
The cautious watchful Eye is clos'd
Here sleeps my Body never more to wake
Till Christ shall come and it to Glory take."
