THE MAIN ISSUE IN LIFE IS NOT
THE VICTORY BUT THE FIGHT:
THE ESSENTIAL THING IS NOT
TO HAVE WON BUT TO HAVE
FOUGHT WELL

Stranger call this not a place
of fear and gloom.
To me it is a pleasant spot,
It is my Husbands tomb.
~ unknown
How soon I was cut down,
When innocent at play,
The wind it blew a ladder down,
And took my life away.
~ Henry G Brown 1861
In crossing o'er the fatal bridge
John Morgan he was slain
But it was not by mortal hand
But by a railway train.
~ Llanymynech Churchyard
Here lies the remains
of Charles Haines
He lived in ease and died in pains
~ Hartford CT
Reader, if cash thou are
In want of any,
Dig 4 feet deep
And thou wilt find a Penny.
~ John Penny . Wimborn England
Here snug in grave my
wife doth lie:
Now she's at rest and so am I
~ unknown
Here lies the body
Of our dear Anna
Done to death
By a banana:
It wasn't the fruit
That dealt the blow
But the skin of the thing
That laid her low

Beneath this stone a lump of clay
Lies Arabella Young
Who on the 11th day of May
Began to hold her tongue.
~ 1794-1863 Arabella Young
HERE LIES THE BODY OF EPHRAIM WISE
SAFELY TUCKED BETWEEN HIS TWO WIVES
ONE WAS TILLIE AND THE OTHER SUE
BOTH WERE FAILTHFUL LOYAL AND TRUE
BY HIS REQUEST IN GROUND THAT'S HILLY
HIS COFFIN IS SET TILTED TOWARD TILLIE.
~ 1796-WISE-1878
