Notes:

Tombstone inscription:
Sacred to the Memory
of
DOVEY WINSLOW ALEXANDER
who departed this life Septr 6th 1801
Aged 2[5] years.

To portray a merited eulogy is fo far
beyond the abilities of the dedicator
that every attempt is difpenfed with
For could I claim the pencel [sic] of a YOUNG
And boaft a THOMSON'S more defcriptive lay
and foar with MILTON to the higheft ftretch
Of thought and of imagination glow
I'd fail to draw a portrait fair as She
Exprefsive as my hopelefs lofs.
