Dhurumsalla Churchyard, the burial-place of the late Viceroy of India, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Dhurumsalla Churchyard, the burial-place of the late Viceroy of India, 1864. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. G. D. Lyon. 'The Earl of Elgin, Viceroy and Governor-General of India, died at Dhurumsalla, on the 20th of November last, and was buried the following day in Dhurumsalla churchyard, "in a sweet spot selected by Lady Elgin herself, at his request"...So gradually did he sink that all the arrangements for his grave, tomb, and funeral were ready several days before his death. It was his particular wish that his tomb might be plain and simple, his funeral perfectly private and unostentatious. But very few mourners stood around his grave. A plain but massive stone will cover it, and a cross 27 ft. high will be the only monument to mark his resting-place. On the top of the hill, immediately over the church, is situated the house in which Lord Elgin died'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
