Rev. Lycan Davis Parks - later owner of Hayne Hall
-----------
SACRED
TO THE MEMORY
OF
Rev. Lycan Davis Parks
son of Hugh and Mark Parks, of Mecklenberg
County, North Carolina, where he was born
on the 25th, of December 1782, and
died at Hayne Hall the place of his
residence, January 17th, 1823;
age 40 years & 21 days.
In public life he was the enlightened scholar, the bold, ener-
-getic and persuasive preacher, who laboured to convince,
and the faithful devoted Pastor of his flock.
To
his friends
and acqauintances
he gave a bright example of
social and relative virtues, and
will long be remembered as the affectionate
companion, the indulgent Father and the sympath-
-ising friend of the widow and the fatherless.
He has broken from all these tender ties, fled from a world
of sorrows to his everlasting rest, there to received the applause
of his Lord, "well done thou good and faithfull servant, though hast been faithfull over
a few things, be though ruler over
many things; enter thou
into the joy of thy
LORD."
There is a calm for those that weep,
A rest to weary pilgrims given:
Who in the embrace of Jesus sleep
The heirs of Heaven.
The soul of origin divine,
Gods glorious image freed from clay,
In heavens eternal sphere shall shine
A star of day.
