Gentleman's Magazine 1849 part 1 p.494
April 2, 1849. MR. URBAN, A COPY of the inscription of the gravestone of the Southey family in the north-west corner of the churchyard, seems almost essential to the completeness of the very beautiful account of Crosthwaite Church with which two of the late numbers of the Magazine have been enriched. I send it you therefore as it was transcribed in August, 1839. The Lord gave and the Lord / hath taken away, blessed / be the name of the Lord. Sacred to the memory / of / EMMA SOUTHEY, / who departed in May, 1809, aged / 14 months. And of HERBERT SOUTHEY, who / departed April 17, 1826, / in the tenth year of his age. Also of GEORGE FRICKER their / uncle, aged 26, 1814. Also of ISABEL SOUTHEY their / sister, who departed on the / 16 of July, 1826, aged / 13 years. Also EMMA SOUTHEY their / mother, who departed / in Nov. 1837, aged 63. Requiescat in pace.I remember the sexton pointing out the seat which the poet occupied in the church, where, according to him, he sat absorbed in meditation, and abstracted from everything but the course of the service in which he was taking part. Yours, &c. J.H. |
