H. H. (Bill) Anger, (b. 1915 d. 1990) was a pioneer in the Englewood fishing industry, which accounts for his unusually shaped gravesite. His tombstone is placed inside a concrete “boat”, complete with steering pedestal and wheel, and tied up to two posts.(To keep it from drifting?) See picture below.

The second site has an international flavor. Beneath a pink tombstone, we can find the final resting place for Emile Gauguin, the first son of the French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin and his Danish wife Mette-Sofie Gad. In their nine years together they had five children. Strangely enough, none of his heirs live in France, with the majority living in Denmark because Mette-Sofie stayed there after Paul left her to go back to Paris to paint. He later went back to Tahiti (at the expense of the French Government), where he lived with a 14-year old vahine named Taha'amana.
