 On June 1 9 her body was laid in her mother's grave * in 

 Arno's Vale (on the anniversary of her death, 1856), followed 

 by a great company of those who loved and honoured her,

 erected next spring, in the Town Hall Gardens.! 



The monumental tablet bears the following inscription : — 



IN MEMORY OF 



PHILIP PEARSALL CARPENTER,

 Minister of this Congregation sixteen years : 

 A student of nature, a servant of God, and a lover of mankind.
