Inscription

Sacred
to the memory of
Levi, Æ 26, & Nathaniel, Æ 23
sons of
Mr. James & Mrs. Joanna Marshall,
whose deaths, together with those of
Sherburne Chase of Litchfield, N. H.
and John Ives of Sudbury,
were occasioned by the explosion of
the powder mill in Chelmsford
Dec. 5, 1820.

They were pleasant in their lives,
And in their deaths they were not divided.

My age's hope my youthful boast
My souls chief blessing and my pride,
In one sad moment all were lost
When Levi and Nathaniel died.

Levi Marshall & John Ives were
instantly killed, Sherburne Chase &
Nathaniel Marshall survived,
the former 44, the latter 24 hours.
