| | Surname | Stewart | | | Forename(s) | Patrick | | | Year of Death | 1822 | | | Inscription | Sacred to the Memory of Patrick Stewart, Esq., of the Firm of Stewart and Robertson, merchants, who departed this life the 29th day of Oct. 1822, in the 53rd year of his age. Indebted to nature for a mind firm to benevolence and alive to the best feelings of the heart, this excellent man passed through life in the habitual exercise of every social virtue, artless; unassuming, and modest in his deportment; mild, forbearing, and considerate in his temper. Incapable of harbouring, as of uttering an uncharitable thought, and prompt in the performance of every action. He was eminently distinguished for piety to God, unblemished integrity and true Christian charity, benevolent to man. It was said of him, that he never made an enemy and never lost a friend, and as he left none of the duties of life unperformed, so his exemplary and endearing conduct to those with whom he was connected, rendered him to them an object of the most unbounded affection. In the bitterness of grief, under the pressure of a loss so irretrievable they will seek consolation where alone it is to be found, in the promises of the Gospel; ""He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."" |
