His name was Bond. - James Bond.

Oh, and he was married.

But his stone is still shapely and erect.:cool:

Taken, then interred.

He had a license to die.

Maybe his license to kill should have been more specific? ;)

Poor Susan. Lost her husband, then her daughter. No parent should ever live to see their child die.

Very true Limey. As one who has basically done that and then come back ... I am now connected with many parents who have. It changes every aspect of everything you experience.

100 years ago is was extremely common, they'd have a bunch of kids, and hope a few would survive to care for them in their old age.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but... I'm going to
Maybe Susan was a demanding old witch who drove her daughter into an early grave?!

Of course I'm sure this was not the case.
[COLOR="White"]Yes it was :)[/COLOR]

That isn't possible, because a child's duty is to do what they're told, and keep their trap shut.
My god, you talk like children are people. :eek:

So did they move Susan's remains there, or create a new headstone when mom died, or just leave a gap for mom?

Daughter was 44 -that wasn't exactly young then. And a spinster presumably, so there must've been something wrong with her all along.

I don't think the letters are actually engraved. Looked like zinc to me. Don't know how they're attached though. - So perhaps it is possible to shift the inscription around when required. Workmen were clever in those days.

They still leave spacing on family stones, when a child precedes one or both of the parents. I've seen old stones where the wife or husband never do make it onto the stone, but a space has been left above children. A widow may remarry and move away, or a husband become MIA and can't be declared dead

Doesn't that also indicate they all share the same plot, one on top of the other?I know that was a common practice in Europe due to space limitations.

In the old cemeteries there in a family stone with all the names, and sometimes, but not always, a small headstone for each grave.

That's very sly.

Sly with a family of Stone?
