Notes
This is a very unusual John Stevens III carved stone, Vincent Luti has never seen one like it. It has epitaphs vertically on the side panels. On the left panel it says "Life is Short," and on the right panel it say"eternity How Long." Across the top it says "Remember the Dead." [mar in Boston 4 May 1775]
