HERE LIES THE BODY OF

GEORGE FORD AND FAMILY

WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE

DECEMBER 12TH 1801 AGED 55 YEARS

Readers stay and cast an eye,

Upon this Grave wherein I lie,

For cruel death, has challenged me,

And in short time, wilt call on thee.

Repent in time, Make no delay

For Christ will call you all away,

My time was wasted, like dew in sun,

Beyond all cure, my glass was run
