Olmsted Stones in the Enfield Cemetery
To the memory of Joseph Olmsted, Esq., who, having served his generation
according to the wiU of God, in several important Of&ces, civil and military,
he died in ye Faith of ye Gospel.
His body lies beneath this tomb
And shews whereto all flesh must come.
No state of worth, not grace can save;
There's no Distinction in the grave.
In memory of Mrs. Martha, the amiable ReUct of Joseph Olmsted, Esq.
Forbear to weep my loving friends;
Death is the voice Jehovah sends
To call us to our home.
Thro' these dark shades from pains redres't,
Is the right path to endless rest.
Where joys immortal bloom.
