Inscription
In Memory of
Capt. Luther Clap,
who died August 17th, aged 39 years.
And his wife, Mrs. Tirzah Clap,
who died 31st same month, aged 38 years,
A. D. 1811.
Both fell victims to the Typhus FEVER.
They were active, pleasing, benevolent, devout.
For us no longer mourn,
Your souls demand your care,
Soon you will be hither borne,
For death, oh friends prepare.
Insatiate Archer, could not one suffice? Thy shaft flew twice, and twice it smote full sore. Scarce did the widow'd mournerfrom the cold grave of a lov'd partner trace her backward steps, than death his awful mandate sent to call her hence. Two weeks she struggled with disease, when death released her from suffering here, to soar on angel's wings to realms of bliss. This once happy pair who here repose, no children left their early exit to lament, but many friends who their sad fate will long bemoan. Rich in the comforts of domestic BLISS, blest with the ample gifts of FORTUNE, and more bless'd with ample hearts disposed to sweetest acts of CHARITY.
