Inscription

To the memory of
HENRY BALFOUR BIGGAR, Esquire, Advocate,
born March 10th,1792, died May 14th, 1817, aged 25 years.
Eminently distinguished by the strength of his mind
and the sincerity of his devotion, in whose maturer years
were combined all that we esteem in intellect with all
that we love in character. Whose splendid talents and
unbending virtue were fitted, if it had pleased God
that he had lived, to secure to him the gratitude and
admiration of his country.
This monument is erected by his earliest companions
and friends to record their undecaying affection for one
whose memory they will never cease to love and venerate.
Also in memory of his mother
LOUISA BALFOUR BIGGAR and of his father
ROBERT BIGGAR
And their Great-Grandson
