Source:Transcript of epitaphs in Woburn first and second burial grounds : chronologically arranged with brief illustrative notes, p. 41:

Here lyes Buried the Body of M'r Benjamin Brooks Who died Jan'ry 6'th 1769, in ye 52'd Year of His age.

A loving Husband to His Wife
A tender Parent two
Greatly lemented was His death
By frinds and Kindred two.

The Lord was pleas'd to Call him Home
And by a Suding Blow
'Twas By the falling of A Tree
To His Long Home did Go.

And now He slumbers in the Dust
And will not rise before
The Lord the Judge descends from Heaven
And time shall be no more.

Blessed are they that die in ye Lord they Rest from their labours & their works do follow them.
