Ann Anderson and Samuel E Johnston



Today I photographed this stone. It has the following text:




Erected

in fond

remembrance of

Ann Anderson

wife of

Samuel E Johnston

who died at Dovecot, Romano

the 26th Dec 1876

aged 53 years




exemplar as a wife

devoted as a mother

dutiful as a daughter

beloved as a sister

faithful as a friend


Also the above Samuel E. Johnston

who died at the Inch, Liberton

4th Aug 1908, aged 85 years.


It did make me wonder what I could mean to be called Examplar as a Wife? What does it take to achieve this?!

Thank you so much for visiting West Linton Graveyard. I would love to see your comments but there will be slight delay before they are visible due to the fact that I like to moderate them for security's sake. But rest assured I look forward to and will be grateful for your feedback.
