NEAR THIS TABLET REPOSE THE MORTAL REMAINS OF ALICIA. FOR NEARLY FIFTY YEARS THE LOVING AND TENDERLY BELOVED WIFE OF CHARLES ELLIOTT ESQUIRE, OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S BENGAL CIVIL SERVICE.
DESCENDED FROM THE ELDEST BRANCH OF THE BOILEAUS DE CASTELNAU, OF THE PROVINCE OF LANGUEDOC, WHO, AT THE REVOCATION OF THE EDICT OF NANTES, CHOOSING RATHER TO ABANDON THEIR COUNTRY THAN THE TRUTH OF GOD, TOOK REFUGE IN IRELAND FROM ROMISH PERSECUTION.
SHE UNITED THE VIVACITY AND BRILLIANCY OF THE RACE FROM WHICH SHE SPRANG WITH THE TALENT AND WARMTH OF HEART OF THAT WITH WHICH SHE BLENDED IN BIRTH; WHILE THE QUALITIES, WHICH ESPECIALLY CAPTIVATED AND ENDEARED HER TO ALL WERE RENUNCIATION OF SELF AND CONSIDERATION OF OTHERS.
AFTER A LONG LIFE OF ALMOST UNINTERRUPTED HEALTH AND ENJOYMENT, ERE AGE WITH ITS WITHERING TOUCH HAD IMPAIRED A SENSE OR DEADENED A FEELING, SHE WAS SUDDENLY STRICKEN BY SEVERE DISEASE; UNDER WHICH AN UNRUFFLED CALMNESS IN THE ANTICIPATION OF DEATH MARKED THE STRENGTH OF HER FAITH IN HER REDEEMER'S SACRIFICE, WHILE HER CONFIDENCE IN HIS LOVE CONVERTED INCREASING SUFFERINGS INTO OCCASIONS OF INCREASING PRAISE.
BLAMELESS AS SHE APPEARED TO OTHERS IN ALL THE RELATIONS OF LIFE, SHE YET SAW HERSELF IN THE LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD, A SINNER JUSTLY CONDEMNED. AS SUCH, SHE CAST HERSELF AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST; AND, PLEADING HIS ONLY MERITS WITH A HOPE FULL OF IMMORTALITY SHE FELL ASLEEP IN HIM ON THE 5TH DAY OF JULY 1851, IN THE 72ND YEAR OF HER AGE.
[N.B. The vault memorial (above) says she was 71. If her birth year was 1779 then she was 71 years and 10 months old. Of course if you are 71 then you are indeed technically in your 72nd year.]
