Puzzle 8
Here is a locally important memorial. The colour might be a give away, sort of.
There are four people buried here, but only one of them need concern us at the moment.
Hundreds of people attended the interment.
Whose grave is it?

The right name will win you...

1000 MONEY!

Re: Puzzle 8
I've not been up there but I've been told it might be Robert Wigglesworth the first curator of Accrington Museum.

Re: Puzzle 8
Sadly not, the occupant might be considered a tad more important than the estimable Mr Wigglesworth.

Re: Puzzle 8
Without wanting to sound morbid or ghoulish, do you know if they were they reburied separately, or in a mass grave?

Re: Puzzle 8
It's Frederick Steiner who was a factory owner amongst other things, so I presume that's why there was a lot of people attending his funeral.
Thanks to my mum who went to Accrington Cemetry for me, show me the money or Ackers Bob.

Frederick (or Friedrich) Steiner. Letters patent from Queen Victoria under the Great Seal respecting an invention 'for a new manufacture of a certain colouring matter commonly called Garancine', granted 22 August 1843. Steiner's address is given as Hyndburn Cottage, near Accrington, Lancashire.
