A reformed man

From Southern Onondaga Cemetery:

An interesting epitaph...I'm curious about how he was reformed, and whether he actually converted/reaffirmed himself to his faith, or if it's just symbolic language.

He died a reformed man,
a true christian, and is gone
to share with the
blest.

The full view of William Newman's side of the obelisk. Note the subtle geometric patterns and lightly carved feathers (visible above).
