Albert Benz died 1901

In Loving Memory
of
ALBERT BENZ
Who died at Lucknow
on xx June ? 1901
Born 22? xxxxx

According to Fibis.org
Albert Benz married Victoria Vanspall
on May 19, 1862. Place: Mercara
She was was the 3rd daughter
of Peter George Vanspall
The most common material used in
construction of monuments was definitely
sandstone followed by marble, whereas,
the economy class, the graves covered 
 with plaster had the name etched into the
 plaster.
There was another grave constructed
from the same material where I was
unable to identify a single letter. Two or
three other monuments were similar to this one.
 This material seems to have been used for a 
short period, alongside stone and
was then discontinued for whatever
reason. This appears to be a mixture
of fine pebbles with whatever they used 
as cement. Colour would have
made this a mosaic.
In the 1990's for a short while mosaic
was used for graves and again, like
the above, was discontinued when
the demand for marble and granite
increased. 
The supply of these materials increased
has along with the development of
the city.

He was a regular Bridge player at the Lucknow

school admissions sometime in the mid 1990's when my father
was still alive. It was then that I came to know that they had be friends in their
youth and that a brother of Mr Rodericks' had drowned in the Gomti while
swimming. That would have been in their young days.)
