In memory of
George Parker Upshur
A commander U.S. Navy

died November 3, 1852 at Spizia
while commanding the U.S. Ship of War Levant
A gallant officer, a devoted christian.

And now behold the King walketh before
you; and I am old and gray headed, and
behold, my sons are with you; and I
have walked before you from my childhood
unto this day, behold here I am;
Witness against me before the Lord, and
before his annointed; whose ox have I
taken or whose ass have I taken or whom
have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed,
and of whose hand have I received any
bribe to blind mine eyes therewith, and
I will restore it to you.
Samuel LXII, 2&3
