Glory be to God. Sacred to the memory of THOMAS WATSON, Primitive Methodist minister, who departed this life December 16th, 1837, in the 19th year of his age and the 6th of his ministry. His slender age, deep piety, and extraordinary abilities, render his death a subject of deep and lasting regret. Farewell, dear friend, nor would we call Thy spirit from its blest abode. Thy work is done-thy crown secure, Thy seat the Throne of Christ the Lord, 'Farewell', a thousand tongues exclaim; And hundreds won by thee to truth Shall pour their incense on thy tomb, And bless the God of Watson's youth. PR; Thomas Watson baptised Beeford 7th October 1818 Thomas Watson, 19, buried Beeford, 1837
