Inscription
"Unica tumba en este predio protestate. También único en la isla con permiso real de la reina Isabel II de España" (Esto es un error, en Sep 1899 Puerto Rico estaba bajo el mando del gobierno estadounidense y no el Reino Español. También el monarca de España en 1899 fue el Rey Alfonso XIII, su abuela la Reina Isabel II perdió su corona en 1868. Fue el Cementerio Protestante que se estableció con permiso real en 1866 y muchos fueron los que se sepultaron en el entre 1876 y 1899.)
"Only tomb on this protestant cemetery. Also the only one on the island with royal decree from Queen Isabella II of Spain" (This is a mistake, in Sep 1899 Puerto Rico was under the command of the US government and not the Kingdom of Spanish. Also the monarch of Spain in 1899 was King Alfonso XIII, his grandmother Queen Isabella II lost her crown in 1868. It was the Protestant Cemetery that was established by royal decree in 1866, many were buried there between 1876 and 1899.)
