 South Park Street Cemetery, Calcutta - Part 2
| Date transcribed | 2010-08-01 | | Transcribed by | Peter Bailey | | Comment | 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 | Bathurst | | | Forename(s) | Robert | | | Year of Death | 1821 | | | Inscription | In remembrance of Robert Bathurst, Esq., late a Senior Merchant in the service of the Honorable East India Company, and Collector of Customs at Mirzapore, who departed this life on the 3d day of November 1821 in the 67th year of his age, most sincerely and generally lamented. Of this excellent and generous man, whose virtues were too conspicuous to be enumerated, on this humble tablet (the offering of undissembled affection and esteem) suffice it to say, that his humanity and integrity knew no bounds. That he possessed all those rare qualities which constitute the gentleman, the man of refinement, learning and taste; that he was ardent and unalterable in his friendship, and admired, honored and beloved by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance. This humble memorial is inscribed by one who was distinguished by Mr Bathurst's friendship and confidence, and who feels it the highest consolation on so melancholy an occasion to record the virtues of a man to whom when alive, he is proud of saying, that his obligations were endless, and are not forgotten now that he is no more. Erected by William Hussey Websterfield, 1824. |
