and his wife, Lady Blanche, daughter of the Earl of Gainsborough. Thomas was the organist at the
church on the Earl's estate. The commoner and lady eloped to America, where Thomas taught at the
Kearsarge School for Boys in North Conway. Lady Blanche, a noted writer and contributor to such
publications as Harper's and The Atlantic Monthly, died here in 1881." erected 1976 |
