Tombstone Tuesday: Two quick and unexpected deaths

by Donna R Causey

From a tombstone in Oxford, N. H.:


  • To all my friends I bid adieu;
  • A more sudden death you never knew:
  • As I was leading the old mare to drink,
  • She kicked and killed him quicker’n a wink

An Epitaph in a Churchyard in Seven Oaks, Kent, England:

  • Grim Death took me without any warning,
  • I was well at night, and dead at nine in the morning
