In memory of Dr. Joel Rathbun who died August 23rd 1820 age 41 years. As a 
physician he was able and skillful, possessing during 18 years of extensive 
practice the deserved confidence of the community. He was an active and liberal 
patron of religious institutions, and a friend of order and a peace-maker. 
Being among the early settlers of Camden, he contributed much to its 
prosperity. Of the truth of the Christian revelation, he was firmly persuaded, 
and left the world in the expection of sharing its joy. In life, respected and 
beloved, and in death, not less lamented. By this event the poor have lost a 
benefactor. But the tears of his widow and orphans attest how kindly he 
fulfilled the office of a father and husband
