Source of inscription text is a 1905 compilation of gravestone inscriptions done by H.C. Batcheller, Sutton Town Clerk, to supplement the death record information in the Vital Records publication (which were published in 1907). Most likely, the inscription was never deeply into the fieldstone and approaching 300 years of weather-wear and lichen growth, the lower lines are virtually unreadable in 2018.∼Joshua, Woodbury, died April 15, 1782, age 55, (Area 2)
