Other evidence found at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Uxbridge, MA. The grave of Laura Horton is next to Edward S. Horton's grave. She is most likely his sister as she died on 16 June 1866 at the age of 55yrs old. This is a picture of her gravestone (grave pic). The stone is very worn, but you can still make out the letters and dates. In her death record (MA Vitals Vol 194 Pg 250 Uxbridge, MA) she is listed as being married and dying of Cancer at the age of 55yrs old. No parents or spouse names were listed.
