Inscription

This stone is erected
in memory of DAVID HOLMES
son of DAVID & REBECCA HOLMES
who supported a good character
till a few days of insanity
which occasioned his
melancholy death Novr 23
in the 32 year of his age
in the year Anno Domini 1806.

The tedious day the gloomy night
Drew fast the bands of woe and grief
Often bewilder'd in my sight
I sought for death to find relief.
