Son of Frederic W. & Mary Stever (Tuck) Vinal.
In 1907, he removed to New York, he was promoted to chief of purchasing dept. there, for the New Haven & Hartford Railroad .
Married to Louise Mowry Mason of Norwich, CT, and she is the mother to his children. They married in 1911, and Then divorced proceedings started in Dec of 1916.
On Jan 26, 1917, she was granted the divorce on grounds of "intolerable cruelty".
The attached newspaper article, dated Feb of 1921, mentions children going to grandmother, Mrs. G.R. Vinal, but she is not their grandmother.
I found an interesting article concerning tree style HS:
[They came at what she (author of book) calls a transitional period in American funerary art, when cemeteries were emphasizing nature and markers grew more modest. The customs around death were starting to focus more on the deceased's life and the people left behind, and a tree proved a powerful symbol of both eternity and humanity, recalling the Bible's tree of life and tree of knowledge.
Some are tree-stump markers take the shape of a cross. Others are simpler, four or five feet tall, with their branch shorn off. One is a short, cleanly cut stump, like one a hiker might rest on during a long walk through the woods.
They date mostly to 1880s to 1920s, when funerary art in the United States was moving away from the grand mausoleums and obelisks.
The tree-stump stones were part of a movement to turn the focus of death back to life, and they're a unique form connected with the secret societies of the time. "They qualify as folk art," writes Susanne Ridlen, in her 1999 book Tree-Stump Tombstones].
