Notes/Misc Details
Notes"Beneath this stone prisoner to death he lies, This stone shall be removed - this prisoner rise. His willing hands from earth release their hold, Where o'er his head a hundred winters roll'd. Swift was his flight along the shining road. He closed his eyes in death and went to God, Here rests his flesh in hop till Jesus come."
