Good morning Rod. My name is Alan Jardine Ulrich and I am the church
historian at First Congregational Church in Reading, Mass. I am getting
ready to do a Church Youth Group tour of Laurel Hill Cemetery here in Reading
next week. I did a search on Thomas Haven, our first minister here and found
your site. I noticed under 15559 Anna wife of Thomas Haven in Reading, Mass.
you did not have her date of death. Would you be interested in the transcription
from her headstone?
I just came in from cemetery - a cold & wet day today. If I had seen
your site earlier I would have already gotten the info for you. If interested
I will send it along by next Sunday (19th) after my tour.
Regards Alan Jardine Ulrich
