Inscription

In memory of
Deac. John Ramsdill,
who died
Feb. 7, 1825.
Aged 85 years.

Welcome, sweet rest, by me so long desir'd,
Who have with sins & griefs so long been tir'd,
Welcome, O Christ, who hast my soul redeem'd;
Whose favour I have more than life esteem'd.

Gravesite Details

Much of the first line of the epitaph is obscured by lichens growing in a crack in the stone. Reading greatly assisted by the Malden Cemetery Department Bell Rock card file.
