According to Audrey Mae’s artistic cemetery map diagram and Audrey Mae’s gravestone numbering system, Lucretia’s gravestone is Gravestone Number Twenty-Seven. Using her Smith-Corona typewriter in the 1980s, Audrey Mae typed the following mini-biography of Lucretia, a seventh-generation Spencer in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Lucretia, the daughter of Hezekiah (gravestone No. 15) and Waite, died when she was nineteen years.
Lucretia was only nineteen when she died but Audrey Mae did not leave the cause of death.
