The Governors of the Louth Hospital have caused the following extract from their Journal to be engraved on the tomb stone of their late Warden and Matron, John and Eliza Ingham
That we have just cause to lament their decease
That their conduct as Servants of the Public was uniformly regulated by the strictest sense of integrity and oeconomy and as Warden of the Sick and Maimed
by the tender feelings of tenderness
That in the care of the House generally they established an admirable system of order also cleanliness and were both in their own behaviour sober, respectable and decorous. That we are very desirous to uphold their example in all these respects for the imitation of those who may at any time hereafter succeed them
