Buried in Christ Church Burial ground. Tombstone: In Memory of Philip Kellinger who departed this life November 6, 1793 Age 24 years and 9 months A span is all that we can boast, An inch or two of time; Man is vanity and dust In all his flower and prime. Now I forbid my carnal hopes, My fond desires recall; I give my mortal interest up, And make my God, my all.
