Here Lies William Temple Franklin
Born 22 February 1762
Died 25 May 1823
Grandson of Benjamin Franklin

He has always been worthy of a name
that will disappear [die] with him.

His inconsolable widow
erects this monument to him
as a sign
of a pain that will never end
except with her life.

Rest In Peace.
