"Sacred to memory
Of Anthony Drake,
Who died for peace
And quietness sake;
His wife was constantly
Scolding and scoffin'
So he sought for repose
In a twelve dollar coffin."

To happen to me".

Here lies the body
Of Samuel Crane
He ran a race
With a passenger train
He got to the crossing
And almost across
Sam and his car
Was a total loss
Sam's spirit now tolls his knell
That Sam is on his way to well
If he only took time
To stop look and listen
He'd be living now
Instead of missing

Enclosed in wood
One Wood

For it raises my flowers
And covers my wife.

Sacred to the memory

And longs to be comforted.

And Mary his wife;

And the wife wore the breeches.

Old Roger Norton,
Whose sudden death
Was oddly brought on;
Trying one day
His corn to mow off,
The razor slipped
And cut his toe off.
The toe, or rather
What it grew to,
An inflammation
Quickly flew to;
The part affected
Took to mortifying,
And poor old ROGER
Took to dying.
~~Quordon, England~~
| Mary Weary, Housewife
Here lies a poor woman who
Was always tired;
She lived in a house where help
was not hired.
Her last words on earth were:
"Dear friends, I am going,
Where washing ain't done,
Nor sweeping, no sewing:
But everything there is exact
to my wishes;
For where they don't eat
There's no washing of dishes...
Don't mourn for me now;
Don't mourn for me never -
I'm going to do nothing
For ever and ever.

Honey you don't know what
You did for me,
Always playing the lottery.
The numbers you picked came
In to play,
Two days after you passed away.
For this, a huge monument
I do erect,
For now I get a yearly check.
How I wish you were alive,
For now we are worth 8.5
Actual epitaph of
Elizabeth Rich,
Eufala,
~~Alabama~~
