Inscription
In Memory of Walter J Judah
Student of Physic, Who Worn Down
By His Exertions to Alleviate the
Sufferings Of His Fellow Citizens
In That Dreadful Contagion
That Visited the City of New York
In 1798 Fell A Victim in the Cause
Of Humanity the 5th of Tishri
A.M. 5559 Corresponding
With the 15th of September 1798
Aet 20 Years 5 Months 11 Days
Here lies buried/the unmarried man/
Old in wisdom/Tender in years/
Skilled he was in his labor, the labor of healing/
Strengthening himself as a lion and running swiftly as a hart to bring healing/
to the inhabitants of this city treating them with loving kindness/
when they were visited with the yellow fever/
He gave money from his own purse to buy/
for them beneficent medicines/
But the good that he did was the cause of his death/
For the fever visited him while yet a youth in his 21st year/
Declare him and his soul happy/
May they prepare for him his canopy in paradise/
And there may he have refreshment of soul/
until the dead live again and the spirit re-enter into them/
Joshua the son of Samuel/departed hence/on the holy Sabbath day/the 5 of Tishri/in the year/and thou shalt rest/and stand in thy lot on the end of days/5559 Daniel XII, 13/May His Soul Be Bound Up In the Bond of Life
