Comments:

This headstone is still standing in the churchyard of the Beulah Baptist chapel in Little Newcastle, Pembrokeshire. The English translation of the inscription is as follows:

"In memory of Daniel John who died March 31, 1856 at the age of 63. Also his son Thomas John who died June 9, 1858 at the age of 23.

In greater sorrow than we can express, after suffering, the morning of resurrection will come; short is the affliction of the ground like an hour, we take comfort: weeping will cease, we shall be purified, and in true praise to him, we shall rejoice.

Also his wife Mary John who died July 1st, 1878 at the age of 78."
