How fitting that jumping into the ABC Wednesday community has Scituate Daily Photo starting at the letter K – because K is for Kent and it is with the Men of Kent that Scituate’s story begins.
Many of the original gravemarkers in this cemetery have not survived the centuries but the first settlers have left their mark all over town in names we take for granted now. Tilden and Turner, Hatherly and Jenkins, Edward Foster and Ann Vinal – their names are remain where their footprints have faded.
In Scituate, K is for K. Click here to see what K is for in other parts of the world.
Edited to add: Coincidentally, K is also shorthand for 1,000 – and today marks the 1,000th day of Scituate Daily Photo!
What a beautiful grave marker, I really enjoy seeing all the diffent monuments that have been erected to honor loved ones.

I’ve been to Scituate (which I cannot spell without looking!) some years ago. A lovely place. Welcome to the club.

When I see a name Kent, it always reminds me of Barbie.

Men of Kent live one side of the river Medway whilst Kentish Men live on t’other – noy sure which is on which side though. Congrats on reaching 1000 posts – I gave up counting long ago.
This must be a really interesting cemetery. I’d love to take a stroll there and take in the history.
Well! 1,000 is nothing to sniff at! Congrats on hitting that hallmark!
