Biographical Notes:

The images of Martineau's headstone were taken at different times. The first image was taken in January 2015, the last 3 are earlier, March 2007. It appears that the headstone has been moved in the 8 years between photographs. Neither Anderson's Bay Cemetery or the Ministry of Culture and Heritage will confirm the change.
