Richard Falley 1756
In the colonial period here, all gravestones were sold in pairs, a headstone and a footstone. Over the years, footstones have all but disappeared. Most had simple initials, but Richard's has his full name, with a carved tympanum and borders.

In Memory of Mr
Richard Falley
who died Aug't ye 7th
1756 in his 45th Year

Reader behold as you
Pass by as you are now
so once was I as I am
now so you must be
Prepare for Death and
follow me
