For a brief intro to the "101 Ways to Say 'Died'" series, click here.
I've written about the
William Goger stone before. He's one of the three Columbia, CT residents who died of smallpox in 1771

Sacred to the MEMORY
of Mr. William Goger
who changed a fleeting
World for an immortal
rest the __ of March
A.D. 1771 In the
33d Year of his Age.
