Gravestone for John Johns in Gerrans

John Johns Gravestone

Here
Lie the remains
Of
JOHN JOHNS
Schoolmaster of this Parish
For the space of thirty five
Years.
He departed this Life
February 24th 1848
Aged 58 years
What is your life?  It is even
A vapour that appeareth for
A little time and then
Vanisheth away, [comes death]
