John Catchpole was 75 years old when he died the 16th of June 1792. Above his name is an illustration of his waggon and horses, below is the following verse. My horse is done running , My waggon is decayed, And now in the dust my body is layd, My whip is worn out, my work it is done, And now I'm brought here to my last home.
