These old epitaphs reveal much about how the victim died
This death appears to have occurred by a tragic accident
Smith ran to catch his fatted hog,
And carried the knife around
He slipped and fell
The hog is well
But Smith is under ground
———-
This man’s tragic death probably came from attempting to cure himself of an illness by using medicine meant for the animal world.
Here lies the body of John Coyle
A son of Arizona soil
He was a man of considerable vim
But the mule medicine was too much for him
