Douwe Talema died on the 11th day of May 1779 in his ninetieth year and was buried here. At his residence near this place, he was willfully and barbarously murdered by a party of Tories, described as traitors to their country who had taken refuge with British troops in New York and came from there to murder and plunder. Several of his relatives erected this stone in respect to his memory and to preserve the manner of his death.
