Near this place are deposited the remains of James Baron, Esqr., Captain in the Royal Navy, a Capital Burgess of this Borough who died the 15th of December, 1807; aged 72. In hope of bliss content I lie; Tho' pleas'd to live, yet not displeas'd to die; Life has its comforts and its sorrows too; For both to all-wise Heav'n our thanks are due. Else thoughtless man would fix his place of rest Where nature tells him he can ne'er be blest How far my hopes are vain or founded well GOD only knows;--but the last day shall tell Also of Catherine Baron his widow, who died the 17th February, 1823; aged 80
