Sacred to the memory of HENRY DAWSON SKINNER, infant son of FRANCIS JAMES TEMPLER, Esqr., Civil Servant, and ELEANOR his wife, aged five years six months and ten days, who departed this life at Kalpentyn Mutwal on the evening of the 21st March, 1832, after fifteen days severe suffering from an accident by fire which took place on the morning of the 6th of the same month.

The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
This Tablet is placed here by his affectionate parents.
