Dearest Mother thou hast left us

Where no farewell tear is shed.

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.

Exclaiming with a smile about half an hour before he expired, Sleep in Jesus 

Aged 18 years, 5 months and 17 days.

Gifted with strong and ready mind 

He learning sought with taste refined 

On Christ in early years believed,

And pardon from his youthful hopes were bright 

Consumption came with withering blight 

He saw his fate, his life reviewed:

Then, by the same disease which bore 

From weeping friends the three before,

O'er come with life's last ebbing tide 

Exclaiming, "Sleep in Jesus," died.

his death where he was again favoured with the parning and 

redeeming grace of God and had a remarkable triumph of 

faith over death and the grave 

Died March 8th, 1847 Aged 24 years, 8 months& 21 days.

In early life six happy years 

Thou pray to thy God with fervent zeal 

And witnessed with thy falling tears 

Thy pain when others spurned his will 

Thou didst thou long then to declare God's love and mercy to mankind:

But soon thick gloom and deep despair 

Cast midnight darkness o'er thy mind 

And thou rest on thy death bed lain 

Thy Saviour raised thy drooping head 

And filled thou with his love again 

A deep and tranquil joy was thine 

And free from fear and full of love 

Thou lef'st this changing world to shine 

A ransomed one, in Heaven above.
