Headstone text (optional):
"The body of Lafayette Hackett - like the cover of an old book - its contents torn out, lies here food for worms."
"Whether the work itself shall here be lost, or elsewhere reappear, amended by nature, (the mysterious mother of us all) was to me a problem which the unknown future could alone solve, Of the multitude of religious beliefs formulated by designing men, and thrown upon the market for others to adopt, I accepted none!"
"I could not accept a dogma which my every reasoning faculty repelled, even under threats of future woe - for loyalty to my convictions was ever my guide in life! I was true to the mental gifts bequeathed me for my use. I have believed what to me seemed true! This was my offence. Guilty of this,I entered the unknown, Thoughtful of the future."
"I waited the muffled oar, believing that No harm could come to me On ocean or on shore."
