Individual Details
John Trumbull
(Abt 1714 - 13 Dec 1787)
Senior Pastor of the Church of Christ in Westbury
And one of the Fellows of the Corporation of Yale College
Who died December 13th AD 1787
in the Seventy third Year of his Age
And the Forty eighth of his Ministry.
If distinguished Learning, Industry and Abilities,
The most unaffected Piety of Heart,
The firmest Attachment to the Doctrines of the Gospel,
The most unblemished moral character,
A studious Attention and Friendship to the People in his Charge,
The most chearful Hospitality to his Friends,
And ardent Charity to the Poor,
Which rendered him respectable in Life,
And, in a firm Reliance on the Merits of the Redeemer,
Raised his Mind above the Fear of Death,
Can render the Memory of the Deceased
Dear to his Survivors,
And afford a worthy Example
To Posterity,
Go, Reader, & imitate his Virtues!
Behold the Upright Man!
His End is Peace.
