Fletcher Hogarth’s grave

He’s buried something like half a kilometre away from his (only) wife, because in death she was Catholic, and he was apparently Presbyterian.

As I was walking up the row, I was checking: ‘headstone’, ‘headstone’, ‘headstone’ – tho rather Calvinist – until I was approaching the end, and there was this bare area – and we ran out of the wherewithal for headstones … and there was Fletcher’s gravesite, right at the end of the row, under a tree … but just some more sand.
So here’s a bit of memorial: Fletcher William Hogarth 1866-1931 is buried here.
