Sacred to the Memory of John Reed Esq. A captain in the late American War where he served with reputation till obliged to retire in consequence of a wound received in an action a little preceeding the capture of General Burgoin and army.

He was an affectionate husband and parent and his hospitality endeared him to many who mourned his departure which was suddenly in a paroxysm of the cholic on the 20th day of Oct, A.D. 1797 aged 50 years.
