  August 2007 Mortis Memento In Memory of Mr. David DeForest who as a husband parent and member of society merited unreserved love and esteem, to the very great sorrow of all acquainted with him departed this life triumphing in death June 2 1783 aetatis 38. My thoughts surmount these lower skies And look towards the place Where I forever hope to dwell Near my redeemer's face There I behold with sweet delight The blessed threein one And strong affections fix my sight In God's eternal son. Orcutt, Rev. Samuel, History of the Old Town of Derby, Connecticut, 1642-1880, (Springfield, Massachusetts, Press of Springfield Printing Company, 1880) page 806 |
