According to the Hook burial records, Joseph died on 25th April 1832, age 59 years. His wife, Ann Sawyer died a few days later, on 2nd May 1832, age 64 years. The dates of burial, together with the fact that this stone is in the area of the graveyard which contains the cholera stones, suggest that both husband and wife died of cholera.
