It's a cold January day in Milford, New Hampshire, Jeff.

It is, and it's about to get a little colder here in a minute, Ray.

Let's head up this small hill here on Elm Street and go through those gates.

Okay, we're in a cemetery now. It's not very large, about an acre in size, surrounded by a short stone wall.

And there's a few hundred headstones in here. So this cemetery was established in 1788. It's the second in town.

And there's 40 Revolutionary War soldiers buried here. Oh, that's cool. So it's an historic place.

Yeah, that it is. Now, we've said before that every headstone tells some kind of story.

Oh, absolutely.

It's a literal monument saying this person was here, even if it's just a last name and two dates.

Yeah, I agree. It's the Reader's Digest version of a Life.

And sometimes we come across an epitaph so epic that the story is all laid

out there for all to see. Let's sit over here just by the gate. Whoa, look at that. This

headstone is covered in words. Yeah. I've seen newspaper articles shorter than this. This is the grave

of Caroline Cutter. She died in 1842. What follows is a

diatribe of venom, making this not only the longest epitaph we've ever seen, but maybe

one of New England's few hate stones. Hello, I'm Jeff Belanger, and welcome to episode 330 of the New England Legends podcast.

Happy New Year.

It's our first episode of 2024, Ray.

And happy new year from your old buddy Ray Osier.

Jeff, happy new year.
