Genealogy Epitaph Collection

 

Lester Moore was a Wells Fargo Co. station agent, and is buried at Boot Hill Cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona:
Here lies Lester Moore
Four slugs from a .44
No Les No More.


In memory of Lettuce Manning:

Oh cruel death
To satisfy the palate,
Cut down our Lettuce
To make a salad.


Self Wriiten Epitaph

When people's ills, they come to I
I physics, bleeds, and sweats 'em;
Sometimes they live, sometimes they die;
What's that to I?
--I. Letsome



Epitaph for a Dentist

Stranger!  Approach this spot with gravity.
John Brown is filling his last cavity.


A marker in Enosburg Falls, Vermont

Here lies the body of our dead Anna
gone to death by a banana
It wasn't the fruit that dealt the blow
But the skin of the thing that laid her low!
