Ammi Burnham Young was the greatest American architect of the 1800s. He did the Vermont state house, the Boston custom house, the Lebanon Congregational Church, many of the houses in and around Lebanon and beautiful buildings throughout the United States.

Tom, thanks for your comment. I think he did the Carter house in Lebanon.

Another bunch of migrants came up the river from Norwich, Connecticut and settled on the west bank, in what proved to be New York, a few years after your guys settled on the east bank in New Hampshire. Proved to be a profound division; Alexander Hamilton helped the west bank folk secede from New York and form an independent republic called Vermont . . .

I share your interest in cemeteries. The small country ones are charming and peaceful. I love to “visit” family and friends at rest in the Lincoln-Noyes cemetery in Greensboro. On the other end of the scale are the magnificently grand southern city cemeteries, of which one of the best is Cave Hill in Louisville, KY. Memphis has Elmwood, also beautiful. This was a great piece Susan!
