Tombstone Tuesday: Two misers were forever immortalized on their tombstones

August 8, 2017 July 17, 2017by Donna R Causey

Two misers were forever immortalized on their tombstones

The wretched man who moulders here
Cared not for soul or body lost, —
But only wept, when death drew near,
To think how much his tomb would cost

Here lies old 33 per cent.
The more he made the more he lent,
The more he got the more he craved,
The more he made the more he shaved.
Great God! can such a soul be saved!
