So, who is HATT-- AD-- ?
Mysteries abound in the old cemetery. Of that we all know full well. We also have an "Ethel A". We have eleven "Unknowns": one unknown burial; 3 unknown infants; and seven unknown man's. The unknown infants and four of the unknown mans were buried in 1930-31; while the effects of the Great Depression were still being felt. We can only speculate as to their cause of death.
Of HATT-- AD-- we know no more. We can speculate that she was buried close to the time that people surrounding her were also buried - possibly in the 1920's era. What is the name? Possibly Hattie Adam(s)? If so there is a Hattie Adams who died in Portland in July of 1917. This could be her, but again, it probably is not.
Why was her name recorded as such? Was someone's handwriting that illegible? Maybe. We'll have to look at the original records - if they are extant.
Meanwhile, the more we find, the more we are intrigued.

Could Ethel A possibly be "Echo R"? Several times on the Census records her name was transcribed to Ethel. She was the daughter of Loli Outhoudt and was married to Reuel Worthington. I have not found any Worthington's in your database.............
