On the southeast side of the Reformed Church in Bözen there is an epitaph in his honor with rich stone masonry from the transition period between Renaissance and early Baroque. Sandstone slab with drilled frame, donated by his wife. Saying in Antiqua. The alliance of coats of arms with rich crest and volutes to crown the cornice. The original epitaph was copied in 1983.

  7. ↑ [Excerpt from Henrici (2007)]
    21 maii 1642: […] E templo ad domum parochialem redeuntem, duo praetores [former mayor and ruling mayor] et aliquot ex senatu secuti sunt. Et per praetorem Stocker omnem obedientiam in spiritualibus Reverendissimo offerentes, praeter parochum et vicarium petiverunt alium sacellanum, eo quod, vicario diebus dominicis et festis divina celebrante in Keisten, non habeant sacrum matutinum. Et eo fine petiverunt, ut parochus e reditibus minoris oppidi, ad cuius administrationem per annum Constantiae admissus est, aliquid cedat. Ad quod illum disposui. Oblato autem integro salmone et postea etiam vino, duo praetores venerunt ad prandium; sub quo commendans loci, ex Lituania oriundus, nomine Andreas Roland ex castro cum descenderet et domui parochiali appropinquaret, salutavi illum et ad intrandum invitavi. Quod initio quasi repugnans fecit, postea tamen usque ad noctem mansit, vinum e castro et pro caena fercula afferri iubens. Praedicantem etiam suum, quamvis reluctantem, comparere iussit.
