| Surname | Impey | | Forename(s) | Hastings | | Year of Death | 1805 | | Inscription | Sacred to the Memory of Hastings Impey, Esq. Son of Sir Elijah Impey, factor in the Service of the East India Company, who died in the 24th year of his age, February 4th 1805. With gentle manners, and with modest worth, Meekly he spent his destin'd course on earth, Belov'd, and most by those who knew him best; Deep were his virtues on their hearts impress'd; The dutious son, fond brother, and kind friend, Are each deplor'd in his untimely end. Vivat Anima Beata? |
