Inscription
William Rotch Bullard Jr.
1926 - 1972
Mary Bayles Ricketson
His Wife
1926 - 2014
H - im nature giveth for defence
his formidable innocence;
The mountain sap, the shells, the sea
All spheres, all stones his helpers be;
He shall meet the speeding year
without wailing; without fear;
He shall be happy in his love
Like to like shall joyful prove.
