Edward McKenna Died 1915

The grave of EDWARD MCKENNA (died 1915), father of Mable Shepherd, my grandmother. The grave in the Nishatganj, Lucknow cemetery, is in poor condition and one wonders how long it will survive seeing the need for more burial space.

George & Mabel Shepherd died 1928 and 1971

Mabel was buried in her husband's
grave.
