    In memory of | Josiah B. Canfield | who died | Mar 28 1834 | aged 24 yrs and 6 mo. |
    Then rest there now in peace, the hollowed spot
    Where sleeps thy dust shall never be forgot
    Oft age, full oft affections tear shall lave
    The flower that blooms upon thy lowly grave
    But while thy memory thus we long shall love
    Thy spirit entered on its rest above
    Shall chant the song ransomed only know
    Beside the stream where Heavenly waters flow.
