This large Georgia granite stone says: "The original resting place of Colonel William Few, Jr was marked by the back half of this monument, which covered the entrance to the Chrystie Family Vault located 100 feet west of here in the church cemetery. Colonel Few died in Beacon in 1828 at the home of his son-in-law, Major James P. Chrystie, and was interred in the nearby vault until his remains were removed and reinterred, with honor, in St. Paul's Episcopal Church cemetery in his home city of Augusta, Georgia - October 19, 1973. This marker is also constructed of Georgia Granite and was erected by the Georgia Commission for the National Bicentennial Celebration in cooperation with the Reformed Church of Beacon, New York - June 18, 1979." What the monument doesn't say is that Colonel William Few, Jr was a signer of the United States Constitution for the state of Georgia.
