"In memory of Major Ebenezer Whiting of Norwich in Connecticut who died Sep. 6 AD 1794 in he 59th year of his age."

"There's something in us prompts the eternal sigh For which we bear to live or dare to die Some earthly things Nill clog the heav'nly breath For life's an ill whose only cure is death The faithful friend the parent wife & kind The upright man true joys above must find ." _______________________________________
