Although Derry's Forest Hill Cemetery has the gravestones of the original settlers, it is also the only public cemetery in Derry. It has a wide variety of stones from the 1700s until the present. These are the stones erected to the Angell family. I think the epitaph under Lizzie Angell's name is the most interesting I have seen in a long time.
