Tombstone Tuesday: nee Maddock & the Lt. Colonel

This stone is worth remarking upon because of a detail it includes, as well as one it does not. Although you may not often see such a detail on the headstone of a woman, this stone bears the maiden name of the deceased.  Lilian Corry died, and is interred, in Rawalpindi India*, but she is remembered here, on her husband's grave maker, along with her maiden name, Maddock. The detail which is lacking is her husband's forename. He is remembered simply as Lt. Colonel Corry.

The stone reads:

In Loving Memory 

of

Lilian (nee Maddock)

The beloved wife of

Lt. Colonel Corry, M.D.I.M.S.

Who died at Rawalpindi India

on the 26th April 1925.

Also of the above

Lt. Colonel Corry

M.D.I.M.S.

Who died at Hove Sussex

on 19th September 1938

and is interred here.

Note*: Rawalpindi is now a part of modern day Pakistan.
