In today's New London Day (Connecticut) newspaper there is a article about a grave stone found two years ago in East Lime Connecticut by construction workers building the Niantic Bay Boardwalk. There does not seem to be a grave in the area so the stone was probable taken from some cemetery and dropped there.The headstone is missing a corner. The white marble stone has the name Carrie E. Pre-----(the rest of the name is missing). The letter after the Pre has a straight side such as a N would so the name could be Prentis. Judging from the position of the name on the stone the family name prop. has approx. 7 or 8 letters. The dates on the stone are 1846 - 1914 On the top of the stone the is the word "Mother" under which small bouquet of flowers chiseled into the stone. There is no proof that this person ever lived in Connecticut. It sure would be great if we could send this headstone back to the grave from which it came! Anyone got any ideas how to fine Carrie? John
