 Stone No.1010

 

Inscription.

 

Designed

to perpetuate the memory of

HELEN FACHNEY

late spouse of THOMAS RATTRAY

Tobacconist

who died on the 3rd Jan

and their infant son JAMES

who died in Feby 1801

and also to keep in remembrance

THOMAS

who died 24 June 1813 aged 2 years & 2 months

son of

T RATTRAY & ANN DICK

By whom this stone is erected 


The grave dissolves each social tie,

And tells us too that we must die,

And then corruptions see;

Happily they are whose hopes do rise,

High as the honours of the skies

Where joys immortal be.
