Surname  Bruce    
First Name(s)  Anna Maria    
Rank or Title  Hon.    
Year  1798    
Inscription  Sacred to the Memory of Anna Maria, the Honourable Mrs. Bruce, daughter of Sir Charles W. Blunt, Baronet, Married in 1795 the honourable Charles A. Bruce, brother of Thomas, Earl of Eglin (sic) and Kincardine, who died at Hoogly after one day's illness on the 19th of September 1798, aged 23 years. By a natural benevolence of mind and an unaffected and becoming dignity of manner, by a propriety of conduct, and exemplary deportment on all occasions, by glowing affections, as a daughter, a sister, and a wife, by a singular humanity and sincere sympathy with the distressed; accomplished, graceful and elegant, She attracted love and esteem so far as her character reached. Let an unexpected fall in the vigour of life, a sudden extinction of so much accumulated virtue, the unfeigned tears of affection, the mournful solemnity of death, and the deep silence of the grave, Impress our minds with the fear of God, and his awful dispensations.
