Charles  French


August 2007

"In memory of Charles
French Esqr who died
Nov the 9 1783 in the 77th year of his age
He was Register for the
town of Derby 39 years
  A soul prepared heeds no
  Delays the summoms come
  The saint obeys, swift was
  His flight and short the
  Road - he closed his eyes
  and saw his God."
