Inscription
Tentative transcription of his gravestone which was very hard to read:
If a man die shall he live again[?] All the days of my appointed time I wait till my change come. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written. Death is swallowed up in victory.
