CROIX / SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF / JOHN GALVIN WHO DEPARTED / THIS LIFE ON THE 9TH OF SEPTEMBER / 1844 AGED FIFTY YEARS LEAVING A WIFE / AND FIVE CHILDREN TO DEPLORE THE LOSS / Eleven days he bore affliction sore / Physicians where in vain / God did please that death should cease / And cure him of his pain / Abide me O my Saviour bide / Till the storm of life is past / And to the heavens guide / ..erve my soul at last / ...bore grace our mind control / Bring rest to their departed soul / REQUISCAT IN PACE.
