Inscription  Here rest the remains of Mrs. Catherine Deare, who died at Calcutta the 6th of Sept. 1790, aged XXXIV. Years. In Memory of her and her husband, Lieut-Col. Charles Russel Deare, who fell by a cannon shot, on the 13th of the same month; while commanding the Bengal Artillery, in the action fought between a detachment of the British forces and those of Tippo Sultan, near Sattimungulum, aged XL. years. This Monument was erected by their brother, Col. George Deare. (The remains of Col. Deare were interred not far from the ground whereon he fell, and they were alike unconscious of each other's fate. A tree grows near his grave, on the bark of which, his soldiers, as the only testimonial of respect and affection that the time and circumstances of war allowed them, engraved his name.)
