      Inscription:

      SACRED
      to the Memory of
      Mr. EBENEZER CHAFFE
      Who departed this life
      August 21st AD 1808 in
      the 63rd Year of his age.
      The fist intered in this
      grave yard.
      He was an honest man,
      respected in life & regretted in death.
      Had few enemies & many friends
      within the circle of his acquaintance.
      And has left on earth with those
      who knew him the rate example
      of industry and frugality mingled
      with benevolence and hospitality.
      But all alas must die.
      This earth affords no permanent abode.
      We journey through and yield
      our souls to God. [1, 2]
