The Hunt Cemetary

This tombstone is part of the Hunt Family Cemetary within the park. The Hunt's farmed a plot on the far southern end of the battlefield, and were bought out when the park was established in 1888. This stone reads: Ann Robison, Born in Ireland 1784, Died 1868.

The first time I came across this place it was very late in the afternoon and very overcast. This provided for a very eerie atmophere. Three of those laid to rest there were born in the 18th century and all lived very long lives: Two in their 80s and one in her mid 90s! That's like twice or more the expected life span at the time. Hearty stock, they.
