Inscription
Here lyeth the body of
Thomas Martin
Who departed this life
August 27, 1760
In the 52nd. year of his age
Oh thou disappointing world
How has thou mankind in confusion hurled
In thee we toil the body and perplex the mind
Still on hope some happiness find
But in vain till we get to yonder land
Where pleasure flows in God's right hand
Which this internal joys his eternal bliss
And given him by our lord of righteousness
Gravesite Details
Thomas Martin was buried in the churchyard of his brother Rev. Henry Martin's Presbyterian Church. His remains and gravestone were moved to the Sycamore Street Presbyterian Cemetery sometime prior to 1868.
