Sarah Webb Holly gravestone

Sarah Webb Holly, the daughter of William Webb and Susannah Weed. Stone in the 1st Congregational Church Cemetery, Old Greenwich, CT. In his research notes, Uncle David noted that he needed to ask Frank Holly (GR8-1115-3) where he got the dates he used on Sally Webb's stone. Since David's notes are mostly from 1949-1955, he is probably referring to Theodore's grandson Frank, Jr. (1889-1975). I checked with the church, and they sent me copies of their plot cards, and they do not record when the stones were placed. We do not know where David, Sally's husband, was buried. He died in 1856, and the Darien church record says "Died in insane hospital." The style of stone for Sally is the same as that for Theodore and his wife Clara. This makes me think that perhaps Frank, Jr. had all these stones put up.
