| Surname | Dickson | | First Name(s) | Marg. | | Year | 1774 | | Inscription | In Memory of Mrs. Marg. Dickson, wife of Captain Thomas Dickson, and daughter to Mr. James Baillie, who died the 30th Sept. 1774, in the 25th year of her age. Sacred to conjugal affection this Monument was erected by her disconsolate husband. Her virtuous conduct and tender affection as a wife are proofs of what she would have been as a parent had it pleased Providence to spare her. This mouldering Tomb may for a while preserve her name, but the memory of her virtues live in the hearts of her friends. |
