This is one of the three oldest gravestones on Cape Cod all dated 1683. It is unusual to find a very old gravestone with no image in the tympanum and no borders around the inscription area. Typical of early gravestones note the combined letters such as T and E in INTERRED and T and H in THIS. Note the spelling of BETER - it appears as BEER. The left photo taken about 1982 is from the Farber Gravestone Collection owned by the American Antiquarian Society. The right photo was taken in 2000.
