Cemetery  South Park Street    
Surname  McQuhae    
Forename(s)  William    
Year of Death  1824    
Inscription  Sacred to the Memory of Major William McQuhae, of the Bengal Artillery, who died in Calcutta 23d October 1824, aged 38 years. He was cut off in the prime of life and in the fullness of earthly hope, far from his native soil, where he had fondly hoped to have ended his days. In every relation of life he was estimable; by his courage, his zeal and his humanity he dignified the profession of a soldier; and by his generosity of heart, sweetness of temper and honorable principle endeared himself to a numerous circle of friends. He lived beloved and esteemed and died lamented and mourned by his afflicted widow and orphans, who erected this as a small memorial of their lovely afection.
