Death is a debt
To nature due
Which I have paid
And so must you

Headstone of Joel Gay (1746 - 1821) in Walnut Grove Cemetery, Jamesville, NY.
It appears that he's likely my 6x great-grandfather, but I'm still digging. Nothing like your ancestors speaking to you from the grave with little reminders as you trace your dead. 😅
