Old Burial Hill

Here reft the mortal remains of
Edward Fettyplace, Esq. who died
August 7, 1805 in the 84th year of his
Age.
His warm and generous heart
greatly endeared him to his connexions
And his benevolence was not confined to them.
Large was his bounty and his soul sincere.
Want never knocked unheeded at his door
for it was his delight to do good and to communicate.
He served his country in those times
which tried men’s souls and appeared himself
the friend of human kind.
In him the peaceful virtues loved to dwell and as
a professor of the religion of Jesus
he paid exemplary attention to the sacred institutions.
Affectionate and honored – farewell.
In life thou wast respected and beloved.

Sweet youth alike to friends & strangers dear,

In vain the tears, of those thou leav’st behind.
Cold is thy form, & lone thy dark abode,
Yet thou but tread’st the vale thy Savior trod
With him fond hope, again behold the rise,
From transient slumbers to superior skies.
