Here lies interred the body of JAMES MCCLURG, M. D .*
In life armired and honoured for learning, taste and gen- ius, and venerated for virtue; of studious and retired habits, yet of the most easy and polished manners; of the readiest and happiest wit, tempered with modesty and benignity, with a native dignity of character and deportment always sus- tained without effort, united with unaffected simplicity, and softened with the utmost suavity of temper formed to delight, instruct and adorn society. His conversation and acquaint- ance were courted by the most distinguished persons of his country and his age. Having studied his profession in the most celebrated schools of Europe, and distinguished him- self, even in youth, by the elegance and ability of his writ- ings, he was early placed without pretension on his part by common consent abroad and at home in the highest rank among its professors, which he occupied for half a century. In old age, cheerful and tranquil, his mental faculties unim- paired, the serenity of his temper undisturbed, even his social gayety to the last by the decay and infirmities of the body ; honored, loved, revered; content to live, content to die with equal mind he sunk to rest on the 9th day of July, A. D. 1823. In the 78th year of his age.
