Photographed gravestone on which it indicated he died May 27, 1865 at the age of 27. Also the name is Edmund, not Edward. I trust this information more than the newspaper account so am changing the record.

After viewing a series of photos on the Stonepics CD I can makeout the full text of the broken gravestone in Old Ferryland Non-Denominational Cemetery which I have seen and photographed. It says:

I had originally assumed that this marriage, as described in the transcripts of two newspaper announcements by Nimshi Crewe, took place at St. Luke's Anglican Church, given the faith of the husband. But the person performing the marriage was named Rev. James Murphy and something tells me that was not a Protestant name! I therefore now suspect that the marriage was performed at the Holy Trinity RC Church in Ferryland, but lacking a record of its occurrence I am not proclaiming that as a fact at this moment.
It is also worthy of note that, according to the family tree of the Carters and kin drawn by George Le Messurier, the first son in this family was named William after his father, but there is no record of his birth/baptism in the Petty Harbour C of E Registers. I suspect that he was baptised privately by an RC Priest and that the baptism was never recorded in any church register.
Le Messurier also recorded that this William married a woman named Kinsella, another RC name. I checked the records on the NGB website and though there is no record of this marriage that I have been able to find so far, there is a record in the Ferryland Holy Trinity Register of a birth-baptism attributed to this couple -- Harriet Maud, Born May 16, 1897 and Baptised May 31, 1897 to William Carter and Bessie Kinsella. There is an indication that the child was illegitimate, implying that the couple never married, or if they did that it was after this time.
Notes
General:
Ferryland Old Non-denominational Cemetery
Typed by Roberta Sullivan from information gathered by NLGS and Jane Dowd in the early 1990's. Stones are mostly unreadable, many are just pieces of slate unmarked (these notes from NLGS website. CM)
IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR PARENTS MARY LOUISE CARTER WHO DIED AUG 27 1907 AGE 66 YRS AND WILLIAM THOMAS SK??. CARTER DIED SEPT 6 1908 AGE 77 YRS
(Note: William Thomas Skinner Carter is full name of husband. Also the middle name of Mary is Louisa in all church records so probably was mistake made in carving grave marker.)
150705: Photographed grave marker today. Actually if anything the gravemarkers in this cemetery are even more eroded and degraded than before. But this one is still in remarkably good condition.
