View all other items of "Surname" with value "Casement" in "Kensal Green Cemetery Index, London" Surname  Casement    
First Name  William    
Date Of Birth   c 1780    
Date of Death   16 April 1844    
Details of Inscription  Sacred to the memory of the Hon. Sir William Casement KCB of the Bengal army and member of the Supreme Council of India. - who after 47years and 6 months of distinguished service partly in the field , partly as secretary to the Government in the military department and finally as a memeber of the Suprememe Council, when about to return to his native country.....wned with well merited honour and distinctions, was swayed by a sense of duty to accede to the pressing instance of the Governor General in Council to defer his departure - a step which exposed him to the attack of the fatal malady which terminated his valuable life at Cossipore on the 16 day of april 1844 in the 64th year of his age. In him the Government of India has to regret the loss of an able and upright adviser, the army of a steady friend and the community at large of one of its most valued members. His afflicted widow records this tribute to his public merits. Her own loss can only be estimated, however imprefectly, by those who knew his private worth.
