The epitaph is a young man’s version of a classic. Spend any time at all in an old graveyard and you are sure to find some version of this epitaph:
Stop young friend as you passby
As you are now so once was I
As I am now so you must be
Prepare for death and follow me.
Liberty Church Cemetery, Delaware County, Ohio
