 The following is transcribed from the 1848 book
Epitaphs from the Cemetery on Worcester Common by W. S. Barton.
 1756
 45. Rebecca Elder, dr. of W. and Hester E ; d. July 7; a. 20.
 46. Esther Elder, dr. of Wm. and Hester E; d. July 16; a. 6.

 1772
 142. Esther Elder, w. of Wm. E. (No. 223); d. Aug. 31 ; a. 59.

 1786
 223. William Elder; d. July 27; a. 79.

 [He was one of the "52 Protesters," who in the year 1774 entered
 on our town records their Royalist
 declaration and protest against the then revolutionary
 proceedings in this place. The town afterwards
 voted, that the signers of that protest be deemed "unworthy of
 holding any town office or honor" until
 satisfaction made, and that their recorded protest be entirely
 obliterated. Satisfaction was accordingly
 made by most of the Protesters, and the record-as may be seen at
 the Clerk's office-was made
 completely illegible.]

 1796
 271. Fanny Elder, dr. of John E. Jr. and Lydia E. d. Aug. 13; a. 3.
