From Friends of Evergreen:
Albert E. Blaikie’s dark granite gravestone with its ivy leaves and elaborate initial is located near his parents’ and sister’s burial places on Valley. His father Richard was a ship carpenter. When he was 17 years old, Albert was also a carpenter but on a much smaller scale than his father. He was a trunkmaker and produced various sized wooden travel boxes which were the 19th century equivalent of today’s luggage. In the mid 1880s he moved to Brocton, Massachusetts, where he continued working as a trunkmaker. By 1889, however, he worked in a shoe factory as a skiver, a leather cutter, and later as a finisher. This was also the year in which he and Lucinda J. Faunce, who was more than 20 years older than he was, married. Lucinda died a year before Albert and is buried in Brocton.
