"Here
lies the body of Mr. Isaac Ross Granfr, Born March 1st, 1708,
And departed life, Febuary 13th day 1760, Remember man as you
pass by as you are now Once was I and as I am so must you be
prepared for Death to follow me Great god I own the sentence
just and nature must decay I yield my body to the dust to dwell
with fellow clay the greedy worms devour my skin and gnaw my
waiting flesh When God shall build my bones again he clothe them
all afresh"
