BURYING GROUNDS OF MONMOUTH COUNTY, N. J.
The largest and most conspicuous stone in the yard, is today, in part, indecipherable. The Latin inscription is erudely engraved and the stone itself much worn, making a perfect transcription impossible and the accuracy of the translation a trifle doubtful. It marks the place of interment of the Rev. John Boyd, and, when the church was yet ereet, it probably stood close to its walls.

"The ashes of the very pious MR. JOHN BOYD, pastor of this church of Calvin, are here buried, whose labor, although expended on a barren soil, was not lost. They who knew him well, at the same time prove his worth as rich in virtues. Reader, follow his footsteps, and I hope thou wilt hereafter be happy. He died August 30, 1708, the 29th year of his age." [Translation of Rev. Dr. John Hall, in History of the Presbyterian Church, in Trenton, N. J., p. 20.]
