Inscription
Sacred to the memory of Joe L. Baldwin who died Oct 21st A.D. 1776 aged 26 years
Nor youth nor health nor vigor can secure us from the cold embrace of death meek and benevolent in his ways to man humble and reserved in his ways to GOD justice truth thro all his actions ran and loved insprired him in the path he trol but now he's gone and all our grief are in vain not all our griefs can death's cold hand prevent then since whats dead we never can regain, lets follow on the road in which he went.
