| Derry's MacGregor Park, War memorials |
The Derry town war memorials are located at MacGregor Park, next to the library. There you will find monuments with names for all the wars, including the current conflicts in Iraq and Afganistan. Each is beautiful in its own way, and reflects the history of each different era. The Civil War monument is located in front of First Parish Church in East Derry, and it also has a list of names. Today I'll start with the World War 1 veterans names.
Here you will find lots of names common to Derry and New
Hampshire, such as MacGregor, Taylor, Gallien and Madden. In this memorial we also see some of the
first immigrant names such as French Canadien, Irish and even some eastern
European names since the shoe factories and other industries were busy in Derry
at this time period in history. I also
noted there are plenty of late Victorian first names, such as Albert, Homer,
Arthur and Eugene. You will also find
that there are several members of the Shepard family listed, including Alan B.
Shepard, father of the famous astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr. As an interesting not, the only woman on this
list is among the deceased, Annie Frasier Norton. She died of the 1918 Spanish Flu, like so many other service members. Her story can be found at FindAGrave.com at this link http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=8056032
