Grave of Francis Drake & Family

Brighouse Parish Church

In memory of Francis Drake of Brighouse, who departed this life May 4th 1855, aged 51 years.     The voyage of life's at an end, the mortal affliction is past, the age he in heaven shall spend, forever and ever will last.     Also of Nanny, wife of the above Francis Drake who departed this life August 23rd 1871, aged 72 years.     I was so long with pain oppressed, which wore my strength away, it made me long for endless rest, which never will decay     Also of Jane, the beloved wife of George Whiteley, and daughter of the above, who died May 26th 1874, aged 37 years.     Her languishing head is at rest, her thinking and aching is o'er, her quiet immovable breast will heave with affliction no more.
