Inscription
Sacred to the memory of REV. DAVID BATEMAN,
Whom Jesus called from this life September 10th, A.D. 1832,
In the 55th year of his age.
As an affectionate husband, indulgent parent, sincere friend,
pious and faithful minister of the Gospel five and twenty years:
he shone conspicuous and died by all esteemed, respected and lamented.
Beneath this marble affection's tribute paid,
This much lov'd pastor's dear remains were laid,
Could friendly aid or the physician's skill
Rescued him from death he would have been with us still.
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.
