Gravestone for Peter Nicholls in Gerrans

Peter Nicholls Gravestone

Sacred
To the
Memory
Of
PETER NICHOLLS
Who exchanged mortality for Life
June the 14th 1827
Aged 25 years
Our Friend is gone before
To that celestial shore.
He hath left his mate behind,
He hath all these storms outrode,
Found the rest we toil to find,
Landed in the arms of God
