David Banks, died 1847 Stanwich Congregational Church


David Banks, third son of David & Marilda Banks 
Born March 17, 1828 
Proclaimed to be born again in the spirit in the winter of 1841 
and in other respects gave evidence of the 
faith except in not uniting with the Church 
Died February 16, 1847 
aged 18 years, 10 months & 28 days.
By nature blest with strength of mind 
By taste to ___ his life inclined 
In spirit guile, kind and pure 
Ready for Christ the shame to endure 
Rearing his soul with meek salvation 
In all things with public profession 
We thought that God despaired for thee 
On earth some useful stiny 
A last in vain since thee was fled 
Life's flattering morning thou wast ad 
Farewell thou son and brother blest 
Till we shall enter on our rest.
