Here lies Lester More
Four slugs from a .44
No Les No More
in pet semetary:
Biffer, Biffer;
One hell of a sniffer

Effie Jean Robinson
1897-1922
Come blooming youths, as you pass by ,
And on these lines do cast an eye.
As you are now, so once was I;
As I am now, so must you be;
Prepare for death and follow me.
To follow you
I am not content,
How do I know
Which way you went.
He was young
He was fair
But the Injuns
Raised his hair
Here lies a man named Zeke.
Second fastest draw in Cripple Creek.
Here lies the body
Of Margaret Bent
She kicked up her heels
And away she went.
Here lies old Rastus Sominy
Died a-eating hominy
In 1859 anno domini
He got a fish-bone in his throat
and then he sang an angel note.
She was not smart, she was not fair,
But hearts with grief for her are swellin';
All empty stands her little chair:
She died of eatin' water-mellon.
Rebecca Freeland
1741
She drank good ale,
good punch and wine
And lived to the age of 99.
Beneath this stone, a lump of clay,
Lies stingy Jimmy Wyatt.
Who died one morning just at ten
And saved a dinner by it.
