Erected to the Memory
of Col^o Isaac Dodge who was
Born March 9^th 1733, died June 27^th 1785
In the 53^d year of his age
And of M^rs Elisabeth, his wife who
Was born March 10^th 1730 & died Sep^t 22^d 1785
In the 56^th year of her age
His mind was open, ardent, and enterprizing
He was a kind huƒban, a tender indulgent Father
In his houƒe he was Liberal & hoƒpitable
Faithful to his truƒt, upright in his intentions,
In his operations
Active, perƒevering and extenƒive;
By which he afforded
Employment and ƒubƒiƒtance
to the induƒtrious and the indigent;
Contributed to the benefit of the publick
And merited the Character of a
Uƒeful and valuable member of ƒociety
His Wife was moral,
thoughtfuls and ƒofar as her ƒlender health would permit
Attentive to the benefit & happineƒs
of her family.
Deeply affected by the death of her huƒband
And the increaƒing infirmities of her feeble conƒtitution,
She languiƒh'd and three months after him
Expir'd
Short was there ƒeperation, ƒoon rejoin'd
In the dark grave, to native duƒt conƒign'd
They ƒleep till death his human prey reƒtore,
And earth & ƒkies & time ƒhall be no more.
