Just curious if you have asked the Littleton, MA, Library for information. They have a list of people buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery (all cemeteries??). Or, have you asked the Town Clerk in Littleton for the information from the "death records." Perhaps there is an error in the records. My first thought was that the man went by 2 names: Ferdinand Bruce WYMAN and "Bruce" WYMAN. But, from my research, I know that people with the same name in the same town were given nicknames. For instance, up in Maine, my ancestor was Joseph "Calvin" KIDDER, and his 4th son was James "Calvin" KIDDER, but everyone in the small town called the son, "Cal, Jr." And, back in NH, Calvin had an uncle, Joseph KIDDER, who had a cousin with the same name living in the same town. So, one was Joe, and one was Joe, Jr. (he actually was a Jr.). Having said that, one other possibility is that Bruce WYMAN was buried twice (moved?). Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. While looking for information on a Robert HUTCHINSON, born Cambridge, I found out he was killed in a car accident ~4 yrs. ago, and his death record said he was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery. I went to that cemetery in Littleton, only to be told there was another Woodlawn Cemetery in the next town, Ayer. "Bob" had lived in Ayer so that is where I found his gravestone. And I'm pretty sure there is another Woodlawn Cemetery in Westford, and perhaps in Chelmsford. (All within 20-minute drive of each other.)
