Exact wording of epitaph: 

This tribute of respect and appreciation
is erected by a grateful and attached flock
to their late lamented and venerated pastor
The Rev Mathew Kelsh
who having lived and laboured among them
in the united parishes of
Kilberry and Oristown for fifty four years
departed this life on the feast of St. Mathias 1867
aged 84 years
The most enduring record of his merit and of his virtues
is read in the many monuments to religion
raised around which bear his name.
Our duty now is to pray fervently that he may receive the
reward of his good words in eternal rest with God. Amen
