Description | Transcribed from Bengal Obituary. A compilation of tablets and monumental Inscriptions from various parts of Bengal and Agra Presidencies. By Holmes and Co., printed by W Thacker and Co 1851. | Date transcribed | 2010-08-01 | Transcribed by | Peter Bailey | Comment | South 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. |
| Surname | Lefever | | Forename(s) | Mary | | Year of Death | 1823 | | Inscription | Sacred to the Memory of Mrs. Mary Lefever, eldest daughter of Henry Hall, Esq., of Carlisle. Obit. 1st September 1823, Aetatis 23 years. Tho' low in earth your virtuous form decay'd, My faithful wife, my loved Mary's laid; In chastity you kept your husband's heart To all but him as cold as now thou art. To name your virtues ill befits his grief: What was his bliss can give no relief; Your husbands mourns, the rest let friendship tell, Fame spread your worth, your husband knew it well. ""Her ways were ways of pleasantness, and all her paths were peace."" |
