Translation: Sacred to the memory of ABRAHAM BALME lately an inhabitant of this town, who laboured, to the utmost of his ability, for almost sixty years, to benefit, so far as lay in his power, his country and fellow townsmen, as a diligent originator or prudent administrator of each public work. In the discharge of business matters no one was more ready in deed as well as in counsel. Having happily brought to a close a long and very useful life on the fourth day of Feb. in the year of salvation 1796, and in the 90th year of his age, his body having been laid by his command outside the walls of the chancel awaiting a joyful immortality through Christ, he rests. This Tablet of affection therefore his sorrowing son E.BALME, M.A. F.R.S., F.A.S., has caused to be here placed. |
