Leaving a Widow and Infant Son and Daughter

An indulgent Husband an Affectionate Parent
and a kind Master.
His punctuality and fidelity in the discharge
of the duties of the several important Offices
To which his Country appointed him from Time
To Time, met with universal approbation. In a
word his many public as well as private virtues
rendered him highly beloved and esteemed,
by all who knew him, and now greatly Lamented. | | |
