NotesFS "B.T." EPITAPH: "Dear father thou art gone to worlds on high there saints are blessed above the sky to dwell with Jesus that dear friend on whom our thoughts of heaven depend Altho our loss we deeply morn we cannot wish thee to return back to this world of care and pain To feel the pangs of death again."
