Mary Graham remembered

Joseph and Harriet Cobb's second daughter, Mary, contracted tuberculosis and died in 1908, leaving a little son. She was buried at the very peaceful, and tiny Ongaonga cemetery which is situated in the midst of farmland and has a lovely view of the Ruahine Ranges.



The grave is wide but as far as we know, only Mary is buried there. 


The inscription reads, 

In affectionate remembrance of
Mary Elizabeth
dearly beloved wife of
Robert Graham
who died Feb 16 1908
aged 29
years
