Death
A 1948 letter from Elsie Mathieson to Annie McBRIDE FRASER says thatElsie's Aunt Mary wrote "my mother's Uncle Alick Gentiles was buried in Auntie Annie's grave in Sandymount."
Elsie's Aunt Mary is Mary NEILSON COLVILLE. Aunt Mary's mother is Mary
Stuart WALKER. Her Uncle Alick Gentiles is Alexander Stuart GENTLE.

has no GENTLE entries for Monumental Inscriptions at Sandymount.
He may be
buried at Sandymount, but there is probably no gravestone.
I don't know who "Auntie Annie" is.
