Epitaphs.................

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 (Vermont)
*******************************************************
Sacred to the memory of Anthony Drake
Who died for peace and quietness sake
His wife was constantly scoldin and scoffin
So she bought for repose in a $12 coffin (Massachusetts)
***************************************************************************
Here lies one Wood enclosed in wood
One within the other
The outer wood is very good
We cannot praise the other (Maine)
**************************************************************************
Here lies, cut down like unripe fruit
The wife of Deacon Amos Shute
She died of drinking to much coffee
Anno Domini eighteen forty (New Hampshire)
**************************************************************************
Here lies the body of Mary Ann Lowder
Who burst while drinking a Seidlitz powder
Called from this world to her Heavenly Rest
She should have waited till it effervesced (New Jersey)
