It was said that while this author, J. Dennis Robinson was researching his book, he spend a good hour studying roughly two dozen portraits that the hotel owner took on the adjacent island where Maren's sister Karen worked, a certain Karl Thaxter. Dennis did not know who the people depicted in the vintage images were, but they had may included Norwegian immigrants who worked at that hotel. He was hoping to find photographs of the 2 murder victims; Karen and Anethe, but there was no way to tell if they were depicted. It was said that Karen was not pretty and she was also shy (according to Celia Thaxter). Anethe was only at the Isles of Shoals a few months before she was killed.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
