THOMAS BURROW
Yeoman of the Barton of Gooseham
in this Parish who departed this life
on the 8th day of November in the
year of our LORD 1839. In the
Forty-ninth year of his age.
Death took me from my wife so dear,
And laid my flesh to slumber here;
Till Christ shall come and bid me rise,
To dwell with him in paradise:
And there to reign with him above,
Where all is joy, and peace, and love
Oh! may we all in heaven meet,
With Jesus Christ our saviour sweet
