For a brief intro to the "101 Ways to Say 'Died'" series, click here.

Samuel Jones, Concord, MA (1806):

Men drop so fast, 'ere life's mid stage we tread

Few know so many friends alive as dead."

This monumental stone is

Erected in memory of

Mr. SAMUEL JONES Jr

who made his exit Nov. 6

1806 aged 36 years.

His virtues were too many to be

enumerated here; but they gained him

the love of all who knew him and

are too deeply engraved on their mem

ories to be forgotten.

Early he departed this life; and has gone 

as we trust to the bosom of his 

Heavenly Father.
