Benjamin Butterworth, son of

who departed this life November
6th 1806 in the 1st year of his life.
Ah- think what agonies my sickness gave,
Grieve not to lay me in my silent grave
I go my friends where sorrows foot ne-er trod
In hope to meet my saviour and my God
ALSO, Susannah wife of the
above, who died Sep 7th 1828
in the 46th year of her age.
Pass a few swiftly fleeing years
And all that now in bodies live
Shall quit, like me, the vale of tears
Then righteous sentence receive
But all, before they hence remove.
May mansions for themselves prepare
In that eternal house above;
And, O my God, shall I be there?
ALSO of the above named
Benjamin Butterworth
Who died Nov 5th 1850
Aged 70 years.
