Inscription
Aged 68 Years 9 Months 8 Days
At Rest
"Farewell, my wife and children all,
From you a father Christ doth call.
Mourn not for me it is in vain
To call me to your sight again."
--As transcribed by Myda Jane Manges Badertscher in 1993
Stone has an engraving of an arch and heaven's gates opened with the words "At Rest" above the gates.
