Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gravestone Inscriptions, Lee, Mass., Including All Extant of the Quarter Century, 1826-1850: Carefully Reproduced Before the end of this period the last pioneer of adult age when the town Was incorporated, and the last Revolutionary soldier residing in the town had passed away. Appreciation of the labors, struggles and sacrifices of the hardy, industrious and courageous men who felled the forest, cleared the boulder strewn soil, and fought for our country's independence will surely grow with the years. The epitaphs of many of that sturdy stock appear in this collection, and perhaps the printed page will preserve them a little longer than their crum bling gravestones. The inscriptions in type represent the originals as closely as possible with the type at command. An impression of each was used for copy, so that a faithful transcript is given with the spelling and punctuation as on the stones. However, despite all care, there are several slight misprints. All found are mentioned in the notes, except the following: on page 49, fourth line from the bottom of the last column, an e is omitted from the word sweet.
