Transcribed byPeter Bailey
CommentSouth Park Street Burial Ground begins on page 106 of the book and ends on page 176 - listing all inscriptions found in that cemetery as at 1851.

Records transcribed to date are from 1800 onwards. These are not in date sequence and so this Part 2 is the first part of subsequent records. Further records will be transcribed and included in Part 3, etc. until all are completed up to 1851.

Forename(s)  Lawrence    
Year of Death  1806    
Inscription  Lawrence Gall, Esq. Obit. 27th April 1806, aged 61 years. Of misfortunes, my good friend, you have had a certain portion; pass that by, you have been a very - very good son; as kind a brother; a tender and affectionate husband; one to be numbered among the best of fathers; a faithful friend; a humane benefactor, and a strictly honest man. (On the reverse:) This is Lawrence Gall's tomb, consecrated by his son and daughters; as a testimony of filial affection which has superseded all other duties. It was thy fate O Gall, to live long enough to see thyself neglected by those friends who ought to have served thee. To thee and thine fortune has been unkind.
