In
remembrance of
James Forster, the
son of John and Mary
Forster, who died May
23rd 1837, aged 23 years
Also of Ebenezer, son
of the above who died
Octr. 30th 1819 aged 3 years
A soul prepared needs no delay
The summons comes, the saints obey
Swift was their flight, & short the road
They closed their eyes & saw their God
Their flesh rests here, till Jesus come
And ..... the treasure from the tomb

Near this stone
are deposited the remains
of Iohn Forster,
and Rebekah his wife.
She died
on the 6th day of June, 1808,
in the 68th year of her age;
he, on the 4th of June, 1809,
in his 70th year.
He was a Christian indeed;
taught by the grace of the Holy Spirit
to trust wholly to Christ
for righteousness and strength;
and enabled, by the same grace,
to adorn the doctrine of God his saviour
by holiness of life.
Reader, ask thyself,
as in the sight of God,
if thou hast been enlightened
by the same spirit;
if thou hast fled for refuge
to the same saviour.
