Greenmont cemetery, Baltimore, has
an oddity in the tombstone line which
would be hard to equal on the score of
evidently unconscious grotesquencss.
In centrally located lot are to be found
three simple stones. Ga the first of these
in addition to the usual inscription for a
deceased wife, has been Chised an index
hand. 1t points diagonally downward
toward the base of the central stone. and
gurmounts the information
'iHier ruht mein Mann QEiere rests my
husband).
The third stone 20 the memory of "A
second wife, differs from the first in the
mere matter of detail, similar hand
points downward to the same interior
spot, and beneath runs an inscription
equally laconic:
'Mcin ist er auch" Mine is he, too)
The climax of absurdIty. however, is
reserved for the middle stone, where
crossed hands point serenely to the two
outlaying mounds, and beneath the hus-
band informs the curious:
Obese beiden sind mein." These two
are mine).
The fact that said husband is still a
resident of Baltimore, with many years,
in all probability, between himself and
this final resting place, does not detract
appreciably from the humor which in
vests the whole arrangement
These lines, written upon the tombs
stone of Margaret Scott, who died at
Dalkeith, Scotland, April 8, 1873, will be
new to many readers:
