About 40 or more years ago, when wandering through the cemetery, I came across a handsome stone with an interesting message. I hope it is still there.
The message:
“Here lies the body of Richard Thomas; An Englishman by birth. A Whig of ‘76, now food for worms. Like an old rampuncheon-marked, numbered & shooked. He will be raised again and finished by his Creator. He died Sept. 28, 1824, aged 75. America, my adopted country. My best advice to you is this: Take care of your liberties.”
Isn’t it amazing?
