Aberdeenshire / who writes the headstone?
« on: Tuesday 27 September 11 06:33 BST (UK) »
Hi from NZ
I have found a relative Professor Mary Emma Dunn who died at Aberdeen 2 Dec 1992 age 80. She was apparently the first female professor at Strathclyde university.
Her parents and brother had died at that time, and they have a common headstone at 'Abernethy Parish Churchyard' (inland from Aberdeen?)
Mary was a spinster, so I wonder who actually wrote up the details on the headstone?
Mary is the closest I have found to a living relative! Wondered if it is possible to find who looked after her funeral arrangements etc as this person may still be alive.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions
