Names

Image
Mt. Hope Cemetery has become a go-to walking spot. It's a lovely place, and there always seems to be something new to notice. Today's jaunt had a goal: look for interesting names on the stones. The surnames weren't especially interesting. Bangor's old families are pretty exclusively of English extraction: lots of Hatches, Gilmans, Stetsons, and such. Though Puffer is a nice one. The given names were sometimes more fun. Mostly I just chose names that were fun to say.
