  • Some fascinating things from tombstones..

    Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York, Born 1903--Died 1942.
    Looked up the elevator shaft to see if the car was on the way down. It was.
    =============================
    In a Thurmont, Maryland, cemetery: Here lies an Atheist, all dressed up and no place to go.
    =============================
    On the grave of Ezekial Aikle in East Dalhousie Cemetery, Nova Scotia:
    Here lies Ezekial Aikle, Age 102. Only The Good Die Young.
    =============================
    In a London, England cemetery:
    Here lies Ann Mann, Who lived an old maid but died an old Mann. Dec. 8, 1767.
    =============================
    In a Ribbesford, England, cemetery: Anna Wallace
    The children of Israel wanted bread, And the Lord sent them manna. Clark Wallace wanted a wife, And the Devil sent him Anna.
    ===============================
    In a Ruidoso, New Mexico, cemetery:
    Here lies Johnny Yeast.... Pardon him for not rising.
    ===============================
    In a Uniontown, Pennsylvania, cemetery:
    Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake. Stepped on the gas instead of the brake.
    ==============================
    In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery:
    Here lays The Kid.
    We planted him raw.
    He was quick on the trigger
    But slow on the draw.
    ================================
    A lawyer's epitaph in England: Sir John Strange
    Here lies an honest lawyer, and that is Strange =================================
    John Penny's epitaph in the Wimborne, England, cemetery:
    Reader, if cash thou art in want of any,
    Dig 6 feet deep and thou wilt find a Penny.
    ==================================
    In a cemetery in Hartscombe, England:
    On the 22nd of June, Jonathan Fiddle went out of tune.
    ==================================
    Anna Hopewell's grave in Enosburg Falls, Vermont:
    Here lies the body of our Anna,
    Done to death by a banana.
    It wasn't the fruit that laid her low,
    But the skin of the thing that made her go.
    ==================================
    On a grave from the 1880s in Nantucket, Massachusetts:
    Under the sod and under the trees,
    Lies the body of Jonathan Pease.
    He is not here, there's only the pod.
    Pease shelled out and went to God.
    ==================================
    In a cemetery in England:
    Remember man, as you walk by,
    As you are now, so once was I
    As I am now, so shall you be.
    Remember this and follow me.

    To which someone replied by writing on the tombstone:
    To follow you I'll not consent.
    Until I know which way you went.

    XD those are awesome!

    I really like the last one; it has some good advice, and the graffiti someone wrote is a very good point!

    When I die, I wanna have a "creative" tombstone like those.
