Exact wording of epitaph: 

                       Sacred
               to the memory of
      The very Revd Timothy McCarthy 
               Late Dean of Sydney.
Having been ordained priest in the year 1952
he selected as the scene of his missionary
labours, the distant colony of Australia.
Where he spent 26 years of his life having
by his indefatigable energy and perserverance
gained many erring souls to Christ. But owing
to constant labour and fatique, his health 
which was robust, strong and vigourous, became
impaired, and by the advice of his medical
attendants, he returned to his native land
for change of air fully determined to go back
again, but providence willed it otherwise.
He died on the 25th Day of August 1879,
               aged 52 years.
Surrounded by his sorrowing brothers and
sisters and relatives, who now mourne his
untimely end. His remains lie buried under the
shadow of the church of his native parish.

May he rest in peace Amen.
