Samuel Burges 1811

headstone

In memory of
Capt. 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.
