Kilmoon Graveyard  [duchas:4965808]

Fair Kind and True,
A treasure each Alone,
Religious, faithful and friend in one
Rest in this tomb,
Raised at thy father's cost,
Here sadly summing what he had and lost

The above inscription is on a memorial tablet (in the old Protestant Church) of Miss Meade of Meadesbrook whose Father was a General in the army of King William at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 A D.
