Glass plate negative photo of the author Kate Douglas Wiggin's (1856 - 1923) memorial in South Buxton/Tory Hill Cemetery in Buxton, ME. The reverse side has a section of postcard pasted on. The photographer Bradbury was likely sizing these plates to create postcards. Kate Douglas Wiggin died of pneumonia in London while attending a Dickens Fellowship convention. She asked that her ashes be brought home to Maine and scattered along the Saco River. This very image appears on a postcard in the Dyer Library archives in the "Gibeon E. Bradbury Family Papers" collection (MMS51Ph7).Made/Created
