- from Thomas (genaholic@freecall-uk.co.uk):
I have checked through my inscription records for Holywood Graveyard, County Down and found the following information:-
PATTISON
"Here lies the body of William Pattison of Drumbridge, late of Lisburn, who was born at Adare, County Limerick, January the 23rd 1777 and finished his course July the 13th 1832 in this Village.
With poverty of spirit blest
Rest happy saint, in Jesus rest
A sinner saved, through grace forgiven
Redeemed from earth to reign in Heaven
Thy labours of unwearied love
By thee forgot are crowned above
Crowned through the mercy of thy Lord
With a free, full, immense reward.
Here also rests his beloved wife Martha Pattison who died at Lisburn on the 8th of October 1845 aged 83 years.
The sweet remembrance of the just
Shall flourish when she sleeps in dust.
Here reposes the body of Thomas Pattison, C.E., son of the above, who died at Paris on 5th April 1883 aged 79 years. He that keepeth thee, will not slumber."
