The vault of
JOHN AND SUSAN WALLACE

In the vault underneath, lie the remains of
JOHN BRADFORD WALLACE
Born at Ellerslie, his father's farm
Somerset County, New Jersey
August 17th 1778
Died in this City, January 7th 1837
Long a Vestryman and Warden in the United Churches, of which this Parish was formerly one.

"His understanding was comprehensive, vigorous and steady;
Its objects high and useful:
Trained after early models,
Its discipline was strict its investigations patient, its judgments true.
His education was eminently regular and liberal,
And fitted him for distinguished attainments in the Law,
In the most dignified ranks of which he was acknowledged to stand.
His Political Principles
Were derived from the honourable and great names
Whose patriotism settled, and then first administered this Government.
From these he never swerved;
And labouring to sustain their purity and aims,
Would have averted that decline in their administration,
Which, unable to prevent, he had yet the misfortune to see.

An Hereditary Churchman
He understood his whole duty; and he practiced it
A faithful counsellor, a considerate parishioner, a constant worshipper.
Led by the Providence of God to a remote part of the Diocese,
He bore Her venerable liturgy thither, and the Church of his forefathers
Rose on streams then first responsive to Her Majestic anthems.

An exalted humanity pervaded his nature
No mean or sordid temper mingled with it.
Discerning and delicate, yet active, open and sincere,
The loveliness of his moral dispositions
Was invigorated by contrariety of manly energy,
And his instinctive generosity ennobled
By permanent principles and settled convictions of duty.

As Husband and Father,
In his home he was the centre and safeguard of happiness.

Of commanding stature, and elevated mien; manners gracious and refined.

His death was as favoured as his life;
Without pain or sickness
In the calm of peaceful slumber and the silence of night,
His Spirit was taken to the Paradise of the Just."
