John Robinson Hunter,
Aged 30.
He lived; and died
Unplaced, unpensioned—
No man’s heir
Or slave.“Can the inhabitants of Ravenstonedale look at either of these monuments without blushing? Can the freeholders of that parish look at the latter, and not consider it prophetically as the voice of one speaking from the dead?”

SALISBURY.
“Innocence embellishes, divinely compleat,
The pre-existing co-essence, now sublimely great.
He can surpassingly immortalize thy theme,
And perforate thy soul, celestial supreme.
When gracious refulgence bids the grave resign
The Creator’s nursing protection be thine.
So shall each perspiring æther joyfully arise,
Transcendantly good, supereminently wise.”
In the morning I was well,
In the afternoon from a cart I fell,
An accident somewhat severe,
In less than a fortnight brought me here.
ANSTEY.
Mary Best lies buried hear,
Her age it was just ninety year;
Twenty-eight she liv’d a single life,
And only four years was a wife;
She liv’d a widow fifty-eight,
And died January 11, eighty-eight.
CALNE.
God worketh wonders now and then,
Here lies a miller, and an honest man.
