In memory of Samuel, second son of John & Sarah McConnell, who was accidentally drowned in the Macquarie River September 23rd 1890, aged 20 years. A dutiful son, an affectionate brother, and a never to be forgotten friend. In the midst of life we are in death. So parents dear grieve, not for me, nor yet be always sad. The fewer years I lived on earth, the fewer faults I had.
