Sacred to the memory of Thomas Armstrong Esq. M.R.C.S.E., a resident of Clones for nearly half a
century. As a man, he was endowed with superior intellectual powers, which were highly cultivated,
and uniformly devoted to usefulness. In his profession, he had extensive and successful practice:
and in civil and religious life, was esteemed for his public worth and private virtues. By his death,
the charitible and religious institutions of the place, have been deprived of a warm supporter and
liberal contributor; society has been bereft of one of its brightest ornaments, and the Church of
Christ, of a valuable member. His numerous acquaintances have lost a sincere friend, and the poor a
kind benefactor. To his family especially, with whom he enjoyed a happiness rarely found in the
domestic circle, his death is an irreparable loss; but their loss is his infinite gain. He was born in
1768, and exchanged mortality for life, November 20th 1840. This tablet is erected as a memorial of
fond attachment, to one of the kindest of husbands and best of fathers, by his bereaved widow and
sorrowing children. [White marble memorial.]
