"Here lies the
remains of
Douwe Talema,
who died on the 11th day of May 1779
in his Ninetieth Year.
This aged Man at his Residence
near this Place was wilfully and
barbarously murdered by a Party
of Tories. Traitors to their country
who had taken refuge with the Troops
of Britain then in New York and came
thence to murder and plunder.
To pay a Tribute of Respect to his
memory and also to commemorate
the manner of his death, several of
his relatives have erected this Stone."
