South Park Street Cemetery, Calcutta - Part 2 [Holmes and Co]
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 | Gibb | | Forename(s) | Alexander | | Year of Death | 1829 | | Inscription | Sacred to the Memory of Alexander Gibb, Esq., Senior Member of the Medical Board of this Presidency, died the 4th of June 1829, aged 68 years. If a life of truth and benevolence afford an humble hope of acceptance by our God, let us forbear to mourn his flight to the throne of mercy. Love, gratitude and veneration embalm the memory of the good, and will preserve the name of Alexander Gibb, when this stone shall mingle with the dust it now protects. |
