年愚姪王展成撰文并书丹篆盖

先生钱氏,讳永雅,字锦泉,号沥山,新昌人。其先为吴越武肃王,至先生第三十传,世居

苏秦村。先生读书务躬行,不尚词华,终身以四子书自束,慕吴县潘文勤。公能守其祖文恭

公家法,取以为则。事父母先意承志,以孝闻。尝集家人,言古来忠孝,至岳武穆事辄涕下。

居乡正颜色以诫少年,贤者知勉、顽者知戒。父庸斋太翁长族事廿余年,奖孝弟以序尊卑,

明礼让以息纷争。先生襄赞之力为多,治谱牒必使绝者继,废者举。其姑母既适江东屠氏,

必岁时省视,至老不疏。其弟文如先生以授徒过劳,积病三年,乃伺其卧起,谨其服食至愈

乃已,人皆以为难能。其女弟和仙以事父母不嫁,先生友爱逾恒,易篑时,犹系念不置其嗣。

君正卿两为县令,每出必以勤政爱民为勖,闻有治绩,辄喜形于色。其推爱乡里也,则建泊

东义渡船,以利行旅。仿潘文恭遗法,创惜谷会,拾道路垄野遗谷,聚以拯济穷黎。宣统庚

戌年(1910 年),沿溪以秋水泛滥,尸骸漂泊,乃纠有力者,收集掩塞,乡人之饥寒无告者,

振济未尝有吝色。盖先生律身严正,人不可干以私,与人交和乐平易、不设崖岸,故其设施

多得人助。生于清咸丰丙辰年(1856 年)九月二十日,卒于民国庚午年 (1930 年)九月初十日,

年七十五。娶孺人俞氏,幼承父训,佐先生治家教子有法度,中年以疾学摄生术,得延大龄;

正卿始宰松阳,尚逮禄养,秉母训治狱以感化。先,未尚经决一囚,孺人闻之辄□喜;生于

咸丰甲寅年(1854 年)十月三十日,卒于民国己未年(1919 年)十二月二十一日,年六十六。生

男一:世昌,正卿其字,选拔贡生,历官松阳、金华县知事,有政声;生女二:长彩凤,次

彩苹,俱未适人;第六孙圭如尚幼,以上五孙早殇。正卿与展成为同年友,又尝共学,辞官

后迎养先生于杭州寓邸,展成抠衣侍教有年,习知先生行谊。民国丙子年(1936 年)十月十六

日,正卿为先生及孺人合葬于新昌西乡庙外山之阳,以女彩凤、第二孙秉权祔墓侧,卜兆有

日,请为志墓之文,自不敢辞。彩凤秉性淑贞,以侍母疾,矢志不嫁,事父母、上逮祖父母,

调护弟妹,曲尽孝友,有司上其事,得邀天性纯笃荣典褒语;生于光绪丁丑年(1877 年)十二

月二十日,卒于民国癸丑年(1913 年)九月二十四日,年三十七。秉权性敏悟,以力学得疾不

禄,生于光绪丁未年 (1907 年)七月二十七日,卒于民国癸亥年(1923 年)三月十三日,年十

七。例得附书铭曰:

植行以义,绳志以礼。冲然高怀,坦然素履。家济其美,流泽所施。推于一乡,有守有为。

诚信既昭,顽奸无猜。我铭无华,来者可式。
