Denbighshire / Re: Robert L Pemberton The Great Western Inn Ruabon wrexham
« on: Sunday 10 September 23 18:54 BST (UK) »
Was looking up the Great Western Inn after seeing it on a headstone in the Ruabon Cemetery (I'd never heard of it). Here is the inscription or as much of it as I could read:
Sacred to the memory of George Robert son of Robert & Mary Ann Pemberton who departed this life August 8th 1864 aged 12 months
Also Edward, son of the above, who departed this life Octr 15th 1868 aged 9 years
Life hangs upon a slender thread
No sooner out than we are dead
So boast not mortal of thy might
Alive at noon and dead by night
Also in affectionate remembrance of Mary Ann, the beloved wife of Robert Pemberton, Great Western Inn Ruabon, who fell asleep in Jesus May 4th 1887 aged 54 years and was interred on May 7th
Also of the above Robert Pemberton died August 7th 1901 aged 68 years
Rosina, his wife died 25th December 1899 aged 59(?) years [may be 58 years].
