caved some, but rest in good condition.


Sacred to the memory of
George Pattie
who departed this life
on the 22d of March 1815
Aged 40 years.
His affectionate widow hath caused this marble to be
erected to perpetuate his name after the hearts of his
fellow citizens have ceased to be the living record of his
amiable qualities.

While on this tomb I drop a silent tear
To one whose memory shall be ever dear
His worth retains a place within my breast
And will until within the grave I sink to rest.

By a friend.

A noble mind, a generous heart
A good Companion honest without art
Beloved through life lamented in the end
An honest man is the noblest work of God.



Sacred to the memory of
William Pattie
who departed this life June 14, 1820
