Hamilton historian Lyn Williams gestures towards a headstone during the city council’s annual cemetery tour at Hamilton West, next to Waikato Stadium, where she explored the fascinating stories behind the headstones. The heritage cemetery holds much history and many of the city’s famed citizens lie in rest there. They include Waikato Hospital matron Elizabeth Rothwell, entrepreneur Thomas Jolly who named Frankton after his son Frank, Grandview landowner Richard Dillicar, Waikato Argus publisher George Escombe and dentist Alexander James Young.
