Doris is not actually buried in this cemetery. Here's what is known of how her stone came to be at Lane's Island Cemetery:
A local resident found the stone on the clam flats near the Lane's Island Nature Conservancy Preserve beach in about 1992.
It's possible that her family may have sprinkled Doris' ashes and left the stone there in her memory. At the time, sign-in sheets were kept at the entrance to the preserve and in looking back through that record, the custodian found an entry logged from the "family of Doris Armstrong, Belfast" (assuming Maine, not Ireland).
Two local residents who were trying to solve the mystery of Doris and the stone, felt it wasn't right to leave the stone on the clam flats, so they moved it to what they felt was the next best place, nearby Lane's Island cemetery.
Any additional information on Doris would be most welcome.
