In Loving Remembrance of

The Beloved Wife of

Aged 74 Years
Her Children arise up and call he Blessed
Her Husband also and He praiseth Her
Prov. XXX1 28
The cabinet card, by Frederick Downer of Watford,, shows a newly laid out grave from 1889, also gives a negative number, helping me to date some of his other photographs. I decided it would be interesting to discover more about Peter Huddle, who obviously could afford an expensive stone for his wife, and also about hi wife Sarah.
It seems that Peter worked as a coachman before moving to Watford in 1865 to become licensee of the King Head Inn in Watford in 1865. This did not last long and he switched to becoming a fly proprietor, providing horses and carriages. He remained in Watford until he died.
