Isn't there an obit in his newspaper? - you'd think there's be a full-page spread, at least!

THE LATE MR AUGUSTUS ROBERT MARTIN - We
Were pleased to find this week that a handsome tomb-
stone, of Ketton stone, 6ft 7in in height, has been
erected over the grave of the above lamented gentleman,
(late proprietor of the NORTH WALES CHRONICLE) sub-
scribed for chiefly by the brethren of the St David's
Lodge of Freemasons, of which he had been a faithful
and persevering member for several years. The upper-
most part represents a broken column, denoting the
frailty of life; and it has on one side a very neatly
carved masonic emblem, beneath which appears the fol-
lowing inscription: -
Sacred to the Memory of
(Brother)
AUGUSTUS ROBERT MARTIN,
Who died November 13,
1859,
aged 55 years.

The obituary is on the back back (page 8) of this issue:
North Wales Chronicle (Bangor, Wales), Saturday, November 19, 1859; Issue 1702.
It's a full-length column, so I don't think I can transcribe it now!

The detail is from the British Library C19 collection, which is available via my library card. I didn't think it would be appropriate to put any images up.

funny thing is Christine...in all the years I have been researching, I have never found a gravestone "EVER"...they where all public graves, now you find one over 6ft tall, just goes to show you never know what your going to find. I can't wait to tell the family
