The follow note is stored against Catherine Harpur record:
Youngest Daughter. Survived Husband Three Years and Six Months and lies interred in the same Grave. She was a Lady of so rare a Disposition , that it is hard to say in w'ch of the Duties of Life she excell'd the most; She was eminent in every One: In the Profession of Religion she was Steady , in the Practice of it Exemplary. She look'd upon her Birth and Station , not meerly as Marks of Distinction; but as Spurs to the Noblest Actions She thought Earthly Greatness receive'd it's fairest Lustre from Virtue and Piety. Though she was plac'd far above want herself; yet Affluence cou'd never abate her Humanity: She had the most Merciful Feeling for the Distresses of Others; She made the Miseries of her Fellow Creatures her Own. The Poor found in her a sure Patroness , the Orphan a never-failing Friend. Thus they both liv'd; happy in each Other , an Ornament to religion , an Honour to their Country a Believing to this Place , equally belov'd; and their Loss was universally lamented.
