Entombed beneath this stone lies the remains of Frederick Frelinghuysen, Esq. Major General of the military forces and representative in the General Assembly of this, his native state. Endowed by nature with superior talents, he was beloved by his country. From his youth he was entrusted with the most important concerns until his death. He never disappointed her hopes. In the bar he was eloquent and in the Senate he was wise, in the field he was brave. Candid, generous and just, he was ardent in his friendships, constant to his friends. The patron and protector of his honorable merit. He gave his hand to the young, his counsel to the middle aged, his support to him that was feeble in years.

Sacred to the memory of Frederick Frelinghuysen, Esq. Who died on the 10th day of November, 1820 A. D., aged 33 years. He was called from time in the strength of his days: yet he had lived to good purpose. After receiving the honours of a Graduate in the College of Nassau Hall, he entered upon the study and practice of the law. and soon attained to an elevated place in public esteem and confidence. His intercourse with the world seemed always to be animated by that heavenly principle, which seeketh not her own. He was a friend to the poor and manifested to a life of constant and liberal charities that the children of affliction held a strong claim upon his sympathy and benevolence. In all the social relation he was the delight and ornament of his friends and with his memory be precious to them. His mind was early imbued with a solemn sense of religious truth which exhibited its salutary influence in his private and public character. Few entertained a deeper reverence for the principles of the Gospels of Christ. He loved the gates of Zion. As death approached the beams of the Sun of Righteousness shone upon his soul and his faith triumphed in the security of the everlasting covenant. He has left the savour of a good name.
«Под этим камнем покоятся останки Фредерика Фрелингуйзена, эск., генерал-майора вооружённых сил и представителя в Генеральной Ассамблее этого, его родного штата. Наделенный природой выдающимися талантами, он был любим своей страной. С юности ему доверяли самые важные дела до самой смерти. Он никогда не разочаровывал её надежды. В суде он был красноречив, в Сенате – мудр, на поле боя – храбр. Прямодушный, великодушный и справедливый, он был предан в дружбе, верен своим друзьям. Покровитель и защитник его заслуг. Он подавал руку молодым, давал совет зрелым и поддерживал ослабевших годами. Чтобы увековечить его память, его дети воздвигли этот памятник – скромное свидетельство их почитания его добродетелей, их горя и утраты столь выдающегося отца. Он умер 13 апреля 1804 года в возрасте 51 года».

«Священной памяти Фредерика Фрелингуйзена, эск., скончавшегося 10 ноября 1820 года, в возрасте 33 лет. Он был призван от жизни в расцвете сил, но прожил её достойно. Получив почести выпускника колледжа Нассау-Холл, он посвятил себя изучению и практике права и вскоре завоевал высокое положение в общественном уважении и доверии. Его общение с миром всегда было проникнуто этим небесным принципом, который не ищет собственной выгоды. Он был другом бедных и проявлял в жизни постоянную и щедрую благотворительность, понимая, что страждущие имеют право на его сочувствие и милосердие. Во всех социальных отношениях он был радостью и украшением для своих друзей, и память о нём будет дорога им. Его ум рано проникся глубоким чувством религиозной истины, которое благотворно влияло на его личный и общественный характер. Мало кто испытывал более глубокое уважение к принципам Евангелия Христова. Он любил врата Сиона. Когда приближалась смерть, лучи Солнца Правды озарили его душу, и его вера восторжествовала в безопасности вечного завета. Он оставил после себя доброе имя».
