Inscription
Here lies Buried
the Body of Mr. Amos
Farnfworth who was
Drownded in the Lancafter
Rever Decem-r 5th
1775 Aged 71 years

Tho in deep water was my Body loft,
And found before it crumbl'd into duft,
And Buried here as this doth fay,
Till trumpet found at the laft day-
And tho in Adam all mankind did die,
But yet in Chrift we may grim death defie.
