In due time…..when I shall have paid the debt of Nature, my remains will rest here in your midst with those of my kindred and neighbors. It is possible they may be unhonored, neglected, spurned! But, perhaps, years hence …..some wandering stranger, some lone exile may erect over them a humble stone, and thereon, this epitaph, “He was Faithful.”

This table top bronze thermometer has two two saints under intricate Gothic arches. William H. Sewardy II possibly acquired this during his trip to Europe in 1888.
