Born 100 years before the American Revolution, the long-lived colonist "Benjamin Price, Esq." died in his 97th year, 3 years short of the 13 colonies' Declaration of Independence. His brown sandstone stele, from the Elizabethtown workshop of master carver Ebenezer Price, reads:
"HERE lies ye Body of
Benjamin Price, Esqr
who died Novr 27th
Anno Domini 1773
In the 97th Year of
His Age
Pray look upon my Grave,
All you that passeth by,
Where one doth live to such an Age
Thousands do younger die"
