Grave stone reads: Scared To The Memory Of Mr. TOBIAS LORD Obt. Jan. 16, 1808 Aet 59. A Distinguished merchant who rose to eminence by virtuous industry, the fruit of which he liberally distributed to assist the enterprising yeomanry. Kennebunk, the scene of his activity, will long mourn the loss of a patron, and society regret the departure of one of god's noblest works - an honest man.

The actual name of the cemetery is First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church which is adjacent to Hope Cemetery.
