ST JOHN'S CATHEDRAL CHURCHYARD, ANTIGUA
The joint grave of John Otto-Baijer (1657-1724) and his second wife Anne Carter (1682-1726).
The railed monument bears the following inscriptions, which curiously misspell the name Baijer as Bayer:
“Here lyes the Body of John Otto Bayer Esq.
of whom it may with truth be said,
That he was Just, Sincere, Charitable, Beneficent, & Friendly;
In gratitude to whose Memory,
Anne his relict Erected this Monument”
and:
Here lyes also the Body of Anne Otto Bayer
Relict of the said John Otto Bayer, Esq.
Who dyed in Her Voyage to Engd. And according to Her Earnest desire
Her Body was brought back & is here Interred with that of Her said Husband,
A true Emblem of their Inseparable Affections.
She was A Dutiful obliging Wife, A tender Mother,
A Good Neighbour & Mistress & very Charitable to the Poor
