500 HISTORY OF THE
In memory of Abraham Ladau, son of Abraham and Ann Ladau, Avas born A.D. September the 28th, 176?, and departed this life Oct. the 21st, 1774, aged 7 years. Here stop awhile ; let pity draw The sympathizing tear, if old thou art prepare to die, If young -- thyself in virtue train. Here lies a son, an only son and heir ; He lived admired, and while he liv'd Him good and just we hoped to see. But death our hopes deceived. Here all our joy and comfort lies ; Here lies our only darling sou -- ' He fell to death a sacrifice, Scarce had his glass began to run : His soul is flown to mansions of the just -- ■ To that great God in whom we weep and trust.
