Quaint Epitaphs
Englishmen of past centureies viewed the
writing of an epitaph as an excellent opportu-
nity to exercise their humor. These samples
were taken from tombstones in English ceme-
teries:
To the passing of an old maid:
"Beneath this silent stone is laid
A noisy antiquated maid,
Who from her cradle talked 'til death,
And never before was out of breath."
An ode to a departed wife:
"Here snug in the grave ny wife doth lie,
Now she's all rest and so am I."
"The children of Adam wanted bread
The Lord He sent them manna;
Old Clerk wallace wanted a wife,
And the devil he sent him Anna." |

cause her knee is so bony she just can't bare it.

existence, |
| * * |
He: "I'd like some good old-fashioned lov-
ing."
She: "Then come over some time and I'll
introduce you to grandmother." |
| * * |
Anna: "It must be three years since I saw
you last. I hardly knew you--you have aged so."
Annabel: "Well, I wouldn't have know
you either except for hat dress." |
