On the tombstones in the graveyard are the following inscriptions:


Sacred to the memory of 
Mary Ann Caroline Elizabeth Pinchbeck
who was born May 27, 1834
And departed this life July 6, 1840
Age 6 years, 1 month and 20 days
Death may the bonds of life unloose
But cannot dissolve my love
Millions of infant souls compose the family above.


Sacred to the memory of
Capt. Thomas Pinchbeck
Who was born August 28, 1801
and departed this life in peace.
January 29, 1847
age 45 years, 5 months, 1 day
Leaving an affectionate wife, two children and
numerous friends to lament his untimely death
Rest gentle spirit thou hast fled
From his dark and sinful ways,
And gone to realms of purer light,
A home of happy joyous days.
