"The names of those
who in their lives fought for life.
Who wore at their hearts
the fire's centre.
Born of the sun, they travelled

And left the vivid air
signed with their honour."

Jane Fraser memorial
To the memory of Jane,
Spouse of Thomas Fraser of Balnain
She was the only child of Simon Fraser of Foyers
and Elizabeth Grant, his wife.
She added to superior personal Graces and Talents
of the first order
The humblest piety, the sweetest temper
And the most devoted filial affection.
Her spotless life was closed by a tranquil and Christian death
On the 7th July 1817 in the 22nd year of her age.
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.
