[ inscription on top ]
Rests the Remains of
the Hon'bl Lyman Hall Esq.
formerly Governor of this State
who departed this Life the 19th of October 1790
in the 67th Year of his Age
In the Cause of America he was uniformly a
Patriot
In the incumbent Duties of a Husband & a
Father, he acquitted himself with Affection and
Tenderness
But Reader, above all, know from this Inscription
that he left this probationary Scene
as a True Christian & an
Honest Man
To those so mourn'd in Death so lov'd in Life
The childless Parent and the widowed Wife
With Tears inscribes this monumental Stone
That holds his Ashes, and expects her own.
