We went to the Rose Hill Cemetery in Hagerstown today. Yesterday we toured the Antietam Battlefield and the nearby National Cemetery. Today we thought we’d see the Confederate section at Rose Hill. For the record, I’m strongly in the pro-abolitionist camp. Nevertheless…

One fun thing about cemeteries is the names you come across. In this one, I came across the name Hartle, I’ve been looking up recently because it’s the last name of an ancestor who is only related to Hartley by marriage. I also saw this stone, with quite a name on it. I often think about elementary school students learning to write their name when I see names like this.
