In the hope of a blessed resurrection

The mortal remains of

Elizabeth Soutar

Of their substance,
Where with God had blessed them,
They gave while living,
Largely to the poor,
And having no near relatives,
Agreed together,
To make the poor their heirs,
Especially the sick and afflicted,
They bequeathed,
To the Dundee royal Infirmary,
The greater part of their substance,
That larger charity in the time of need,
Might reach the suffering poor,
And many hearts,
Gave thanks to him
From whom all blessings come
