Memorial to William Swaine & Family

Halifax Parish Church

Here lieth the body of Mr William Swaine, of Halifax, who departed this life 27 October 1779 in the 32nd year of his age     Is it a thing so small So easy to comply When summoned by a sudden call To get us up and die. For those who humbly keep The Faith by Christ bestowed To die is but to fall a sleep In the soft arms of God.     Also of Mary, the wife of the above William Swaine, who died on the 8th of October 1826, aged 73 years
