Near this Place lies the body of
B. P. LELYVELD, Esqre.

(The Friend of Count De Welderen.
Who was buried and Laid in the vault,
Under the pavement of this Chapel
in June, 1807),

Born February 19th, 1750, Died 1824.

In the vault beneath

lie the Remains of

Mr. GEORGE SMART,

Late Treasurer, one of the Founders,
and the unceasing Friend of the
New Musical Fund,

Established 16th April, 1786, for the relief of
Decayed Musicians, their widows, and orphans.
The Society, lamenting their irreparable loss,
Have in Gratitude erected this Tablet.
Died at Edinburgh, 4th September, 1818, aged 67 years.

In affectionate Remembrance of

A most excellent and beloved Mother.
This Tablet is erected by her children, to
Mrs. ANNE SMART,

Who Died on the 19th of October, 1818,
aged 72 years,

and rests in the vault Beneath,

With Her Husband,

Whom she Survived but six weeks.

Erected by a Sister in Memory of her
Beloved ANNA CECILIA,

Daughter of Christopher Rhodes, Esq., of Chatham,
In the county of Kent. She Departed
This Life June 2nd, 1796, aged 32. Her remains
Were deposited in the 42 Vault of this chapel.
Distinguished by a fine Understanding, and a
Most amiable Disposition of Heart,

She was the Delight of her Parents, and the
Admiration of all who knew her.

At the Age of 17, the Small Pox ftripped off
all the Bloom of youthful Beauty,

And being followed by a dreadful Nervous Disorder, withered those fair Prospects of earthly Happiness Which were expected from her uncommon Affection, fensibility, and Tenderness.

After enduring this afflictive Dispensation many years
When it was difficult to say which
exceeded, her Sufferings or her Submission,
Her Friends' Concern for her Sorrows,

Or their admiration of her Patience;

She was released by Death, and received into that World where there shall be no more Pain, But God Himself shall wipe away Tears From every Eye.

Alas! how vain are feeble Words to tell

What once she was, and why I lov'd so well;
None else but He who form'd the Heart can know
How great her Worth or how extreme my Woe!
Bleft Calv'ry, on thy crimson Top I fee,
Suff'rings and Death with Life and Love agree;
Justice fevere and smiling Mercy join,

And thro' the Gloom we see the Glory shine.

In the xxvth vault of this chapel,
Are deposited the remains

of HENRY O'HARA,

(of Upper Eaton Street, Pimlico), Esq., Who Departed this Life, the XIIIth of August, MDCCCIV, Aged LIII years.

Fix'd is the term, to all the race on Earth; And fuch the hard condition of our birth; No force can death refift: no flight can fave, All fall alike, the fearful and the brave.

Mrs. EULIELIA O' HARA,

Died the XXIII of February, MDCCCXXXIII, Aged XCIII years.

Thrice Happy Christians who when time is o'er Shall meet in Realms of Bliss to part no more.
