Erroneous Epitaphs



Here lies Mathias Milton Merk
Who died one day from overwork;
His death a lesson to us taught –
He died from overwork at naught.


Beneath this stone as mortal clay
Jim Jackson Jones is laid away;
He fell at duty’s call, did Jim,
He felled a tree, it fell on him.



c. Jan. 27, 1913
