"On a plain simple stone we read words of consolation, hope, and faith, supposed to be addressed by Ann Bums, the tenant of the tomb below, to her husband, Sergeant James Wemyss, of the 6th Dragoons.
"Grieve not for me, mv sand be run.
The Lord has called, his will he done;
When Christ appears I shall arise
Unto that life that never dies.'
Sergeant Wemyss, who outlived his wife twelve years, died 7th October 1832, aged 52; and of him it is said in the inscription: 'He was an affectionate husband, a kind and sincere friend, and was much respected by all who knew him.'"
