Here lies Interr.d the Body of Mr. JOHN BARTLETT who departed this life February the 6 th AD 1773 AE 77 Years

Border: There does not appear to be a border around the tympanum of this stone. There may have been one, but it was discarded upon the stone's placement within the granite frame. There is a four line, three section border around the stone's tablet section. The outermost band is very wide, followed by thin width bas-relief line before the tablet itself. The table is presented in bas-relief with it's wide outermost band ascending to the tablet's plane. A clearly delineated line marks the boundary of the tablet itself.

Remark: The tympanum is dominated by the top of a skull and a pair of crossed bones. The skull is hyper-realistic with a properly portrayed nasal cavity and more realistic upper row of teeth. There is an mini-angel on each of the stone's shoulders. They are quite detailed with a winged head as one normally finds on the tympanum.
