Year of Death  1810    
Inscription  Sacred to the Memory of Patrick Moir, Esq., who died on the 15th February, A.D. 1810, in the 42d year of his age. In 1806 he filled the office of Secretary to Lord Minto, at that time President of the Board of Commissioners for the affairs of India, whom he accompanied to Bengal in the year 1807, and was appointed a Commissioner of the Court of Request of Calcutta in the same year; a trust which he discharged with integrity, assiduity and ability, to the time of his decease. His virtues, talents and accomplishments, all of the highest order, enhanced by a singular simplicity and modesty of character, had attracted in an eminent degree the esteem and regard of the world. His gentle and cheerful manners, his benevolent and warm affections endeared him to numerous friends, whose tender but sorrowful recollections will long survive him. He lived respected and beloved, and died deservedly and universally deplored. Soft on thy tomb shall soft remembrance shed, The warm but unavailing tear; And purple flowers that grace the virtuous dead, Shall strew the lov'd and honor'd bier.
