Inscription

Here are deposited the remains of Alexander Chisolm, Esq. a Native of Inverness in Scotland Gifted with a vigorous mind and a lively fancy / He was in a temper cheerful, in conversation engaging, and in manners social / Liberal, Benevolent and active / He discharged the duties of his station with diligence and integrity / and uniformly maintained a respectable standing in Society / As a member of the Presbyterian Church his piety was rational and his morals without reproach. Attached to its tenets and observant of its rites. He was tolerant of those who embraced a different system of faith and disciples / After a long, useful and exemplary life he departed this transitory state, in the 72nd year of his age.
Endeared to his acquaintances and lamented by his family His surviving sons have erected this monument to his memory as a frail memorial of their filial piety.
