Inscription
According to cemetery records, three William Brattles are interred in the same lot: William, Sr., William, Jr. and Dr. William, 3rd. But, no record card concerns Mary Wright, wife of William, Sr. who died 8 years after her husband. Notwithstanding, the writer assumes she is interred in the same lot with her husband, son and grandson.
