Wow. Thanks for sharing this. I'm having trouble making out the text on the headstones - did you happen to write it down?
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leaders, and concerting measures in opposition to each other." ~John Adams 1780

Brave men fall with a battle cry
Tears fill the eyes of their loved ones, and their brothers in arms
And so it went for Joseph Warren
It should have been different, it could have been easy
His rank could've saved him, but a country unborn needs bravery
And it spread like wildfire

Mrs. Smith

that's awesome!  Ditto what T.Wolf said!

Here too, this warrior sire, with honor rests.
Who braved in freedom's cause his valient breast
Sprang from his half-drawn furrow, as the cry
Of threaden'd liberty came thrilling by
Look'd to his God, and reared in bulwark round
Breast free from guile, and hands with toil embrown'd,
And bade a monarch's thousand banners yield -
Firm at the plough, and glorious in the field,
Lo! here he rests, who every danger braved,
Marked and honored, 'mid the soil he saved.
