Here rest the Remains
of
Doctor Joshua Brackett,
late President
of the New Hampshire Medical Society
who in the full belief of the restoration of all things
calmly resigned his breath,
July 17, A.D. 1802,
in the 69th Year of his age.
Appointed by the State of New Hampshire
Judge of the maritime Court
at the time she assumed her sovereign right
He sustained the office with honors and integrity
until the adoption of the Federal Compact.
He was in judgment sound,
in friendship firm
in sentiment liberal
and in benevolence unbounded.
