So I was just fooling around on Wikipedia discovering interesting things about the world and my neighborhood of North Stamford. I stumbled upon this, which is a writing on a headstone in North Stamford on wikipedia.
Oren S. Palmer, 1865, age 1:
Two more little hands
Close folded on the breast
One more little form
Is gently laid to rest.
I'm very curious to find out if there is a relation to me. I think that there might be because Oren was a name that was in my family...I believe it was my great great grandfathers name. I guess it would make sense for that name to have been used again had another "Oren" died young. It also said it was found across the street from a Methodist church and if you went through my family history my great grandpa was a Methodist who was an only child who was completely disowned from the family farm around the Greenwich and Stamford border because he fell in love with a catholic. (Sounds like a decision I might do if I really wanted something or someone badly) Anyway you never know what you might research and find out while on the internet.
