1		Abigail Smith Adams Inscription: LIBERTATEM AMICITIAM FIDEM RETINEBIS D. O. M. Beneath these Walls Are deposited the Mortal Remains of JOHN ADAMS, Son of John and Susanna [Boylston] Adams, Second President of the United States. Born 30th October 1735. On the fourth of July 1776 He pledged his Life, Fortune and Sacred Honour To the INDEPENDENCE OF HIS COUNTRY. On the third of September 1783 He affixed his Seal to the definitive Treaty with Great Britain Which acknowledged that Independence, And consummated the Redemption of his Pledge. On the fourth of July 1826 He was summoned To the Independence of Immortality, And to the JUDGMENT OF HIS GOD. This House will bear witness to his Piety; This Town, his Birth-Place, to his Munificence; History to his Patriotism; Posterity to the Depth and Compass of his Mind. At his Side Sleeps till the Trump shall Sound ABIGAIL, His beloved and only Wife, Daughter of William and Elizabeth [Quincy] Smith. In every Relation of Life a Pattern Of Filial, Conjugal, Maternal and Social Virtue. Born November 22th 1744. Deceased 28 October 1818. Aged 74. Married 25 October 1764. During an Union of more than Half a Century They survived, in Harmony of Sentiment, Principle and Affection The Tempests of Civil Commotion; Meeting undaunted, and surmounting The Terrors and Trials of that Revolution Which secured the Freedom of their Country; Improved the Condition of their Times; And brightened the Prospects of Futurity To the Race of Man upon Earth. PILGRIM, From Lives thus spent thy earthly Duties learn; From Fancy's Dreams to active Virtue turn; Let Freedom, Friendship, Faith, thy Soul engage, And serve like them thy Country and thy Age.

2		First Lady Louisa Adams Inscription: ALTERI SECULO A · ? Near this Place Reposes all that could die of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, Son of John and Abigail [Smith] Adams, Sixth President of the United States. Born 11 July, 1767. Amidst the Storms of civil Commotion He nursed the Vigor Which nerves a Statesman and a Patriot, And the Faith Which inspires a Christian. For more than half a Century, Whenever his Country called for his Labors, In either Hemisphere or in any Capacity, He never spared them in her Cause. On the twentyfourth of December, 1814, He signed the second Treaty with Great Britain, Which restored Peace within her Borders. On the twenty-third of February, 1848, He closed sixteen years of eloquent Defence Of the Lessons of his Youth, By dying at his Post In her great national Council. A Son, worthy of his Father, A Citizen, shedding glory on his Country, A Scholar, ambitious to advance Mankind, This Christian sought to walk humbly In the Sight of his God. Beside him lies His Partner for fifty Years, LOUISA CATHERINE, Daughter of Joshua and Catherine [Nuth] Johnson. Born, 12 February, 1775, Married, 26 July, 1797, Deceased, 15 May, 1852, Aged 77. Living through many Vicissitudes, and Under high Responsibilities, As a Daughter, Wife and Mother, She proved equal to all. Dying, she left to her Family and her Sex The blessed Remembrance Of a 'Woman that feareth the Lord'. "HEREIN IS THAT SAYING TRUE, ONE SOWETH AND ANOTHER REAPETH. I SENT YOU TO REAP THAT WHEREON YE BESTOWED NO LABOR, OTHER MEN LABORED, AND YE ARE ENTERED INTO THEIR LABORS." LOUISA CATHERINE ADAMS FRAIL OF BODY, SIMPLE IN TASTES, AND RETIRING IN NATURE, SHE FILLED THE ONEROUS POSITIONS TO WHICH IT PLEASED GOD TO ASSIGN HER, WITH GRACE, DIGNITY AND FORTITUDE. 1775 - 1852 THE ABIGAIL PHILLIPS QUINCY CHAPTER DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION CAUSED THIS TABLET TO BE AFFIXED 1930 LOUISA CATHERINE ADAMS.
