Sacred to the memory
of JOHN HUMPLEBY Esquire
who
in the 41st year of his age
fell the victim
of a violent and dreadful malady
He departed this transitory life
on the 28th of January 1814
mourn'd by his relatives
lamented by his friends
regretted by all the good and just that knew him
large was his alotted portion of his public virtue
the kind and affectionate husband
the fond and tender parent
the mild and indulgent ma..
were united in him
faithful to his friend
generous to his afsociate
humane to mankind
he lived not for himself alone
but
prompted by sweet benevolence
his anxious bosom glowed and felt for all
Let then this lettered marble
which
n... justice to his revered name
his disconsolate widow
raises over the mouldering body
a monumental record
of deceased worth
