This Stone is
erected to the memory of
that unbiased Judge
Faithful Officer, sincere Friend
and honest Man
Coll Isaac Lothrop
who resigned this Life
on the 26th day of April 1750
in the 43 year of his age.

Had Virtues Charms the power to save

Its faithful Votaries from the grave

This stone would neer possess the fame

Of being marked by Lothrop’s name.


Continuing our search along the southeasterly slope we find these three. The first two quoted are near the tombs at the foot of the hill:—

In memory of John W. Howard Son of Capt. James Howard & Mrs. Hannah his wife born March 20, 1815 died April 2, 1815

He glanc’d into the world to see

A sample of our misery.
