From Shelburne Falls Road Cemetery, Conway, MA:

In memory of Charles Baker Esq.
of Pittsfield Mass.,
Son of Mr. Isaac + Mrs. Louis Baker of Conway
who was killed instantly in this town by lightning
May 20, 1829
in the 31st year of his age.

Unceremonious fall:
A sudden rush from
Lifes meridian joys.
When lightnings shine,
And thunders roar,
let earth adore
The hand divine.
