Inscription

THIS MONUMENT
Is erected to the Memory of
MR. WILLIAM HOLROYD.
He was born on the 28th of March,
A.D. 1746. —
In all the relations of life, he maintained
A fair and unblemished character.
He was an affectionate husband and parent,
A sincere friend, active merchant, useful citizen,
And an honest man.
For more than half a century, he was an efficient,
Benevolent, exemplary, and pious member of the
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH in this Town.
His religion was not merely in name,
But being of the heart, it enabled him to endure
Frequent and severe trials with holy fortitude;
And in his last long course of debility
And pain, having CHRIST and His
Righteousness as his only hope,
He submitted
With unshaken confidence and resignation,
and came to his grave full of years
