Two husbands, two roses

It is not so common to find marital history on a gravestone, but here we have it on the marker at the grave of Catharine Wright (d. 1879).

CATHARINE
wife of
JAMES WRIGHT
and former wife of
STANNIAS MILES
DIED
Aug. 23, 1879
In the 85 Year
of her age.
The carved bouquet on Catharine’s marker features two large garden roses. Tempting to see a connection between the two roses and the two husbands, isn’t it?
