Surname  Beatson    
Forename(s)  Emma    
Year of Death  1825    
Inscription  Sacred to the Memory of Emma, daughter of Lieut.-Col. Humfrays of the Bengal Engineers, and wife of Major William Stuart Beatson, Deputy Adjutant General, who died on the 16th of September 1825, ten days after the birth of her fourth child, in the 29th year of her age. Her virtues and her talents, her highly cultivated mind; her playful liveliness of temper and the generous warmth of her disposition, endeared her to her friends while her devoted attachment as a daughter, sister, wife and mother, made her the comfort and delight of her (now desolate) husband and of those near relations who lament her untimely death, but with the humble hope of rejoining her hereafter.
