RE: Lucy Lambert Hale has one friend on Facebook
Does Lucy explain on her Facebook page why she is buried in Dover, NH and her husband, William Chandler, is buried half way across the state in Concord???

(After Lucy returned from Europe, she began a relationship with Chandler, a widower and successful attorney. They were married in 1874. From 1882 to 1885, Chandler served as Secretary of the Navy (under President Arthur), and was a U.S. Senator from New Hampshire from 1887 to 1901. Lucy died in 1915 and is buried in Pine Hill Cemetery in Dover. Chandler died in 1917 and is buried in Blossom Hill Cemetery in Concord.)

I am just speculating, but perhaps it was because Chandler did not want to spend eternity next to Lucy and listening to her say “You were not nearly as handsome as was John.”

(Roger was kind enough to post some photos I took of Lucy's gravesite and home in Dover, which may be found here: http://rogerjnorton.com/LincolnDiscussio...light=hale )
