Today, another cemetery. Walking tour? Of downtown Yarmouth. Maybe find a local "lost" fisherman's memorial. Hope to find some names there, sadly. Two local archives. And a lighthouse.
And, we are off.
Lost at Sea, is right down by the docks, at Frost Park.
Yes. They were listed. 1882.
There are 2400 names on this memorial. And there are many memorials up and down the coast. In fact seeing those other memorials gave me the idea to see if there was one here. There is.
The newspaper blip is for the marriage of the senior William's marriage. I had the marriage, now the announcement.
The inside of the chapel at the cemetery. Gorgeous. I see the upside down hull of a boat. The fellow showing us around took some time to take us in. He could tell we would appreciate. We did.
The flowering Dogwoods were stunning:
Post Script: When you visit the county archives and museum.
Have the staff pull the Fenton file. Not expecting to find a thing.
Open file. First batch of papers that fall out has your name at the top.
Yep. My research and reputation proceed me.
Sigh.
Man asked me if I wanted to move here. The plants and flowers are gorgeous. They rarely get more than 3 inches of snow in a single storm. The temps are moderated by the Atlantic. They do have an occasional hurricane. Lots of sea mist mornings. The seafood is some of the best he has ever had. Anywhere. We have met a lot of very nice people. Polite drivers. Gentle place.

See that Haley in the newsclipping! She's from my family tree! I have lots of Haley/Healys in Chebogue and Yarmouth!
