In Memory of
The Rev. Hezekiah Smith D.D.
Who was born at Long Island State of New York
April 21 A.D. 1737
Graduated at Princeton College
A.D. 1758
He was ordained as an Evangelist in Charleston
South Carolina and was the first Pastor of the
Baptist Church in Haverhill and took the
Charge of the Flock Nov. 12 A.D. 1766
He departed this life Jan. 24 A.D. 1805
After forty years faithfully performing his
Pastoral Duties
He was laborious and successful in his preaching
And an able Defender of the Christian faith.
His Discourses were delivered with fervency
And a becoming Solemnity.
He was a Vigilant Watchman in the various
Stations of his Office
In Social Circles he shone conspicuously
His deportment through life exhibited the
Humble Christian and faithful Minister
of Jesus Christ
"There is a hastening hour, it comes, it comes,
To rouse the sleeping dead, to burst the tomb,
and place the saint in bliss!"
