In the Fox Cemetery in Berkley, MA, there are 2 stones that are, for all intents and purposes, uprooted.
This is one of them. It was leaning forward and I was able to right it with no trouble.
There is no death date, but I'm guessing it was cut in the 1720s because there are several other gravestones from that period with this exact lettering (probably the same carver, whoever it may have been).

Interesting that the carver used a more modern spelling of "lies the body" but had so little skill with word placement. The way the words carry over onto other lines without any sort of grammatical symbol makes this stone seem much older, but then again, it doesn't say "Here lyeth ye bodie..."
