THESE TREES PLANTED IN THE HONOR OF
MR. AND MRS. THOMAS LINTON
WHO SERVED THEIR NEIGHBORS TO THE END OF THEIR DAYS
P.S. This story is adapted from the myth of Baucis and Philemon, who have been renamed as the Lintons, a name derived from an Old English word meaning “town of trees”. The gods have been replaced by Lord and Lady Oswald, another Old English name coming from the words for “god” and “power”. Westport, County Mayo, Ireland, is home to a mountain that was a holy site in early Celtic mythology.
