The following inscription is on a stone tablet at the entrance to Glenwood Cemetery. The epitaph was used by Sylvester Alonzo Kellogg (1838-1904) and may be a derivation of a poem written by an unknown hand prior to 1887.
Lo! What a motley, and incongruous throng
In undistinguished fellowship are here.
Form, beauty, learning, strength herculean.
Rank, honors, fortune, valor and renown.
What trace are left of ye? The direst foes
Here meet in peace, their feuds forever past,
No burnings of the heart, no envious sneers.
No covert malice here, or open brawls
Annoy, All strife is o’er. The creditor
His debtor no more sues, for here all debts
Are paid, save the great debt incurred by sin
which, when the day of reck’ning shall
Arrive, cancelled will be, or paid in full.
Glenwood Cemetery, Champlain Nov. 26/ 87.
