In memory of JAMES HARWOOD HESSAY the son of WILLIAM and ANN HESSAY who departed this life January the 8th 1841, aged 4 years and 6 months. Also of ELIZA, their daughter, who died January 23rd 1841, aged 3 years. Tender buds, so young and fair, Call'd to an early tomb; Just come to show how sweet the flowers, In paradise will bloom. Ah lovely babes from us so early (fr?)ed, We loved you living, and lament ye dead; With grief of heart, and love sincere, we here inscribe these lines, And drop a heartfelt tear. This tribute of respect was erected through the kind liberality of Mrs. ST. QUENTON. Also three daughters, of the above named WILLIAM and ANN HESSAY, viz: FRANCES, died October 21st 1842, aged 1 year and six months. FRANCES ELIZA, died May 15th 1850, aged 7 years. FANNY, died May 23rd 1850, aged 2 years.
