Gravestone for John and Richard Stantan in Gerrans

John and Richard Stantan Gravestone

In
Memory of
JOHN STANTAN
Who departed this life
June 3rd 1833
Aged 19 years
Also
RICHARD STANTAN
Who died July 29th 1835
Aged 29 years
Those eyes, so long in darkness veil’d,
Must wake, the Judge to see;
And every word and every thought
Must pass his scrutiny.
 
Oh, may we, in the Judge behold
Our Saviour and our Friend;
And far beyond the reach of death
With all the saints ascend.
