I have seen this one in East Calais, Vermont the next town over from where I grew up.
P.S.
The Old Nuisance
It appears on the back of the marker and is quite amusing. I always wondered if it had been put there by a vengeful family member but the reality is Bennet himself had it engraved himself.
"On Philip Sydney Bennet, who overheard his son-in-law call him "the old nuisance" and ordered this put on his gravestone in East Calais, Vt"

A famous Swedish author has this on his grave:
Here lie the ashes of a man who had the habit to postpone everything until tomorrow.
However, at the end he improved and actually died January 31 1972.(Translated with Google translate.)
