To lay this body Home!
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into the world unknown!

Dear parents thou hast left us

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.
Alpheus Banks, died 1849 Stanwich Congregational Church
Alpheus Banks,
Made a public profession of his faith in Christ May 27, 1845
Died May 22, 1849
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.
Cornelius Banks, died 1847 Stanwich Congregational Church
Cornelius Banks,
Second Son
Of
David & Marilda Banks
Born November 18, 1823
Made a public profession of his faith in Christ April 7, 1838
adorned his profession with usual fidelity for 6 years and fell
into a state of disrepair & remained there till 37 hours before
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.
