Don't ask me how, but I stumbled across a site devoted to epitaphs earlier. The things people have put on their tombstones....
When I am dead and in my grave,
and all my bones are rotten.
While reading this you'll think of me
when I am long forgotten!
Here lies the body
of Jonathan Blake
Stepped on the gas pedal
Instead of the brake
She always said her feet were killing her but nobody believed her
Here lies the body of Martha Dias,
Who was always uneasy, and not over pious;She lived to the age of three score and ten,
And gave that to the worms she refused to the men.
JOHN T. McMAHON
1930 -
HE WAS A FAILURE AS A HUSBAND AND FATHER
HE WAS INSANE 15 YEARS BECAUSE OF LIQUOR
BUT DIED SOBER
MAY CHRIST HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL
HE WAS NOT A PILGRIM
Here beneath rest the ashes of a man who was in habit of always postponing everything till the day after. However, at last he improved and really died jan 31 1972
Born 1903--Died 1942
Looked up the elevator shaft to see if the car was on the way down. It was.
Here lies
Johnny Yeast
Pardon me
For not rising
On the 22nd of June
Jonathan Fiddle
Went out of tune
Go away, I'm asleep.
