Inscription
"Sacred to the memory of Daniel Landon of Litchfield who died July 11, 1790, aged 77 who served as clerk to the Episcopal Church in Litchfield forty years"
His God he served with pious zeal the sacred dome was his delight
Far distant from that holy hill has took his everlasting flight
Composed by himself
So here I leave this earthly clay and fly beyond etherial blue
Unchained into eternal day to sing ye praise of God anew
