To his worth and integrity
the undeviating confidence of his fellow citizens
bore ample testimony.
He sustained the honor and discharged the duties
of various important offices with
credit to himself and satisfaction to the public.
In public life he was faithful
in private life he was amiable.
As an affectionate husband, a tender parent
a firm friend, a kind neighbor
his memory will long be cherished
in the breasts of a mourning family
and of bereaved friends.
