Fascinating old tombstone sayings:
=============================
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 he lies 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 Windborne, 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.
==================================
