Samuel Burges 1811

In memory of
Mr Samuel Burges
He died
at Lisbon
Oct'r 1st 1811
Aged 31 years
on that day

This is erected for my friend
A Loving Husband he has been
But with a sore Disease did die
On a Distant shore his body lies
But although he from home did die
He in my mind yet still will lie
Written by his Consort Lydia Burges

The slate gravestone has a small curtain image in the tympanum.
