Josiah  B.  Canfield


August 2007


In memory of
Josiah B Canfield
who died
Mar 28 1834
aged 24 yrs and 6 mo.
 
  Then rest there now in peace, the hallowed spot
  Where sleeps thy dust shall never be forgot
  Oft age, full oft affections tear shall lave
  The flower that blooms upon thy lowly grave
  But while thy memory thus we long shall love
  Thy spirit entered on its rest above
  Shall chant the song the ransomed only know
  Beside the stream where Heavenly waters flow.


Orcutt, Rev. Samuel,  History of the Old Town of Derby, Connecticut, 1642-1880,
