  • Notes 
    • Erected nearly 145 years ago, the "Puzzle Stone" was finally solved in 1947 by a caretaker of the Rushes cemetery, the late John Hammond.

      "In memoriam Henrietta, 1st wife of S. Bean, M.D. who died 27th Sep 1865, aged 23 years, 2 months and 17 days and Susanna his 2nd wife who died 27th April, 1867, aged 26 years, 10 months and 15 days, 2 better wives 1 man never had, they were gifts from God but are now in Heaven. May God help me so to meet them there. Reader! meet us in heaven."

      Further information about this family and the "Puzzle Stone" is to be found in Volumes 70-1982 and 71-1983 of The Waterloo Historical Society Papers.
