Caption:
Joseph du Bignon | Additional Description: This Tablet is Erected
To perpetuate the memory
of
Joseph DuBignon
Who departed this life
On the 27th April 1850,
In the thirty sixth year of his age,
Remarkable for his noble and social
Virtues, as a son, a Brother, and a Husband.
A Patriot and friend, he was Suddenly,
And in the dawn of his Usefulness,
Taken from a devoted Wife,
Endearing Children,
Parents, Sisters, and Friends
Who are left to mourn
His premature Death
Requiescat in Pace
========================
What tho' our bitter tears shall fall.
Above thy Grave like Autumn;s rain.
Yet, would we not thy Spirit call.
Back to these scenes of care again;
For bless'd is he, and doubly bless'd,
Who nobly all Life's paths hath trod.
Content to find his final rest
Within the bosom of his GOD.
========================
"Rest in peace".
