Oliver Cromwell Hoskins

I just remembered a funny story from when Gram and I were at the Portage Cemetery. We were talking to a cousin I think that they were talking about how many boys in Portage were named "Cromwell" after Oliver Cromwell Hoskins (who is Grandma's paternal grandfather). They laughed when they reminisced that these boys were not fond of the name and pronounced it "Crummy" instead.
