1795 Erected at the expense of JOHN FERRIER in memory of his father JOHN FERRIER who lived in the Wellgate of Dundee he died Sept 28th 1794 in the 78th year of his age Survived this date 1795, Margaret and John Ferrier, by Jain Wat, his first spouse; and of the second marriage, Isobel Ferrier. As round the grave's devouring mouth, Our bones are scatter'd round; Ly sleeping in the tomb. But when the last trumpet aful voice, This rending earth shall shake, Then bone unto his bone again, And dust to life awake.
