Inscription
Here Lyes the Body of Mr. BENJAMIN BROOKS, who died Jan. 6, 1769, in Ye 52nd Year of His Age.
Loving Husband to His Wife | A tender Parent two | Greatly lemented was His Death | By friends and kindred two. | The Lord was pleas'd to Call him Home | And by a Suding Blow | 'Twas By the Falling of A Tree | To His Long Home did Go. | And now He slumbers in the Dust | And will not rise before | The Lord the Judge descends from Heaven | And time shall be no more. || Blessed are they that die in ye Lord they Rest from their labours & their works do follow them
