From Sugarloaf Street Cemetery, S. Deerfield, MA:
Mr. Sylvester D. Stebbins
died at Palmer 3 Sept. 1826, AE 35.
His death was caused by
a wound received on his
head Aug. 31 by a piece of
a rock blown 20 rods from
where he was at work.
Nor pain nor grief nor anxious fear
Invade thy bounds, no mortal woes
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here.
While angels watch the soft repose.
[A rod equals 16.5 feet.]
