| Cemetery | South Park Street | | Surname | Tyler | | Forename(s) | Henry | | Year of Death | 1819 | | Inscription | In Memory of Henry, The infant son of Mr. Henry Tyler of Calcutta. Nat. 8th Jan. 1819, Obit. 18th Aug. 1819. Relentless dath hath nipt this early bloom. That cheered paternal hopes, maternal love, Yet anguished feelings look beyond the tomb And faith beholds him soar to realms above. Thus parents weep and sorrowing, drop the tear, For Henry's lov'd remains lie buried here; So young, so good, so truly gentle, mild, That nature own'd him for her fairest child. |
