My children dear assemble here
A parent's grave to see.
Not long ago I dwelt with you,
You soon will dwell with me.
Reuben Woodworth appears as a pensioner in Sempronius, N. Y., aged 79 in 1840, but the family history says he was born in Lebanon, Ct., Dec. 22, 1755. His headstone differs from both. He came to N. Y. quite early, and served as private, corporal and drummer in Col. Ephraim Woodworth's 13th regiment, of Albany Co. He was afterward drum major. He married Olive Millard and settled in Sempronius, part of which township is still in this county.
Moved from Salina, NY on 4/25/1870
