 As I work on the Hamlet Volume I occasionally come across past residents of sufficient interest that a genealogical entry in the Hamlet People Database does not do them justice.  In this section I will be presenting brief "sketches"  or a collection of clippings or first hand accounts of their, or their family's, lives.  It's more or less an on-line "scrapbook."
