«i» Rev. Marshall Lundie, MA, BD --The death of this promising young minister has caused a widespread feeling of regret. The sad event, which took place at Tharsis, in Spain, whither he had gone to labour about 18 months ago, was altogether unlooked for. Mr Lundie was a most acceptable preacher, having officiated at different times both in the North and South U.P. Churches here before departing for Spain. Much sympathy is expressed for his parents --his father being teacher of Sheddan's Institution here, and an elder in the North U.P. Church. The Scotsman, in a notice of deceased, says he was a graduate of Edinburgh. On the completion of his studies in Divinity, he was appointed to the mission of Thread Street Church, Paisley, where he remained for three years. He was then appointed missionary agent in Tharsis, where he has laboured for a year and a half. He was a young man of ripe scholarship and of great ability. «/i»

This stone is in a small cemetery south of the town of Tharsis that contains about a dozen graves of mostly Englishmen who worked at the mining town of Tharsis. It sits in an open area shaded by a large [oak?] tree and can bee seen from the road. The graves, though fast deteriorating, are relatively well cared for.
