Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3RB.2ACIAE/218 Message Board Post: I have a major mystery on my hands and need someone to verify the information I have about my greatgrandmother's grave stone. Her name is Emily L. Whitcomb. She is the wife of George L. Whitcomb. She died July 23, 1889. There is a fancy marble, stone with a verse that is partway readable. I have spent months verifying that her husband is there but there is no cemetery record recording the event in 1903. (George her husband died in Harrisville, NH April 19, 1903 and was sent to Westminster April 22, 1903 to be buried with her. The town record shows this event happened but the cemetery has no record.) So I am in the process of validating his burial there. Now to the confusing part. I live out west. I was sent a description of her stone which doesn't make sense. On the front somewhere is written BROTHER. On the back is Everette Whitcomb 1877-1910. Everette can't be her brother if he has the same last name. I found in a 1880 Census for Westminster her family and Eve! rette is her son who is 3 yrs old making him born in 1877. I think that there is a possibility there are other members in this plot. So I need someone to go look in detail at this site which is in "D" section and in detail see if they can figure out what is there. I now know her husband George is there, Everette her son, but who else. I wonder if the miss information is a description error and the grave stone holds the truth. Thank you. Kathy
