Inscription
In memory of Matthew Brandon who died on the 9th of Sept 1819 aged 68 years; also of his wife Jane Brandon who died on the 3d of Feb'y 1819 aged 63 1/2 years.
Fellow mortals there was a time
(That time is past)
When in youth we bloomed like thee
A time is coming, it's coming fast,
When you must fade like we.
