Inscription
In Memory of Colo. Elnathan Walker who died June ye 6th 1775 in the 69th year of his age
Beneath the sacred honors of the tomb,
In awful silence , and majestic gloom,
The man of mercy, here conceals his head,
Amidst the awful mansions of the dead,
No more his liberal hand shall help the poor,
Relieve the distrest, nor scatter joys no more.
NOTE: The old spelling, perhaps, of "distrest", unless it is an error of the word "distressed".
