This monument as a
mark of filial respect is
raised to the remembrance
of David Balch, who
bid adieu to the delusive
and transitory scenes of
this world the 22 of
July 1812, AEt. 59
Whose last dying words were
To the war.
"Non ille pro caris amicis'
Ant patria timidus perire"
Sweet Jesus was resigned to the
Father's will,
Indeed so was he who lies here still.
