“Here lies all that is mortal of a man whose rare gifts of intellect cultivated to the highest were combined with warmth and largeness of heart that delighted in doing good, in thinking for others and in ministering bountifully of his means towards lightening the trials of the poor. He was endeared to his friends not more by the brilliancy of his gifts than by the breadth of his sympathies and the largeness of his views. All that devoted love could do he did to make life happy to her who consecrates this tablet to his memory. May his name be blessed.

Sarah Pirbright”"
