From the Bengal Obituary Booklet :-

"Here lieth the body of
Mrs. Catherine Elizabeth Swinhoe,
wife of John Henry Swinhoe, Esq. and daughter
of Robert Penny, Esq. of Weymouth,
Dorsetshire, who departed this life 28th June
1820, aged 25 years and 10 months.
To a mind highly cultivated and to those
ornamental accomplishments valuable to society,
the deceased in an eminent degree added
unaffected piety. Though formed by education and
sweetness of disposition to adorn and add zest
to the more brilliant and higher circles of life, she
fully proved herself the amiable and dutiful
daughter the dear and affectionate wife, the
most truly attentive and tender mother, and the
ever kind sister. This pillar is erected by her grate-
ful husband, who, as he appreciated her worth
while living, will ever cherish the most sincere re-
gard for her memory, and who looks forward
with fond and humble hope through the mercy of
Providence to a joyful reunion in that world
where sorrow is not known."
