This memorial plaque for Lucy Banks Nelson in St. Olave's references St. Matthew IX 24 which in the King James Version of the bible is as follows:
"He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn."
The referencing of St. Matthew is used as the basis for the following words in the inscription on the plaque:
"WHO FELL ASLEEP..."
The full inscription on the plaque is as follows:
'TO THE HONOUR AND GLORY OF GOD
AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF
LUCY BANKS NELSON
THE BELOVED DAUGHTER OF
