John Livingston?s Tomb

As I was walking through Church Hill I stopped for a moment in the little walled enclosure that houses the tomb of John Livingston, an apothecary from the area who died in the Black Death in 1645. It's a peaceful spot with a a well kept garden and a bench.

This Saint whos Corps lyes buried heir
Let all posterities admoir
For upright lif in Godly feir

When judgements did this land surround
He with God was walking found
For which from midst of feirs he's cround

Heir to be interred. Both he
And friends by Providence agrie
No age shall los his memoire

His age 53 Died 1645
