August 2007 In memory of Dr Josiah Canfield who departed this life Feb 11 1778 in his 40 year. Remember Lord our mortal state How frail our life how short the date Where is the man that draws his breath Safe from disease, secure from death. Orcutt, Rev. Samuel, History of the Old Town of Derby, Connecticut, 1642-1880, (Springfield, Massachusetts, Press of Springfield Printing Company, 1880) page 804 |
