Notes/Misc Details
NotesThe inscription says that Capt. Brown "departed this life (at Pawtucket on his way home from Boston where he had just arrived from sea)." The verse expands this theme: "In health I left my native home,/Not thinking this to be my Doom;/I passed the dangers of the Sea./In hopes to meet my Family./But Death has called, I must obey,/Before I all of them shall see."
