Inscription

Lieut Retier H. Parker,
departed this life
Feb. 2d 1799
AEtat. 52.

O ye whose cheek the tear of pity stains,
Draw near with pious reverence & attend
Here lies the loving husband's dear remains
The tender father, & the generous friend.

O loving husband, tender parent dear,
How great our grief, too much for us to bear,
Can we sustain the loss of such a friend
Without a hope that we shall meet again.

Friends here behold the fate of Adams race,
Ruin'd in him & doom'd to sleep in dust;
Yet made alive by Christ, we shall appear
Before God's throne in endless friendship there.
