Imagine hand-setting circular text

 A two-fer headstone from Ticonderoga, NY, Streetroad Cemetery: husband and wife who died within a couple months of each other. Their marker is one slab, slightly scored down part of the center to divide the halves. What caught my eye was the circular way the man's name was written on the left, though the rest of the text is linear:


ADAM HOVENDEN
Died
Nov. 11, 1856
AE. 48

MARGARET
Wife of
A. HOVENDEN
DIED
Sept. 18, 1856
AE. 46
