Alexander Leo Pushong died 1905

               In Memory of
ALEXANDER LEO PUSHONG
LATE APOTHECARY, CHARBAGH
WHO DIED ON THE 15TH AUGUST, 1905
AGED 56 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS

ERECTED BY THE RAILWAY COMMUNITY,
LUCKNOW AS A MARK OF RESPECT AND
ESTEEM FOR HIS UNFLAGGING ZEAL AND
PROMPT ATTENDANCE

CALM ON THE BOSOM OF THY GOD
FAIR SPIRIT REST THEE NOW,
E'EN WHILE WITH OURS THEY FOOTSTEPS TROD
HIS SEAL WAS ON THY BROW.
DUST TO ITS NARROW HOUSE BENEATH, 
SOUL TO ITS PLACE ON HIGH;
THEY THAT HAVE SEEN THY LOOK IN DEATH,
NO MORE MAY FEAR TO DIE.
