A remarkable but perfectly reliable
story comes from Wales which throws q
strange light upon the eccentric!ty Of
character. In the graveyard OF the
parish church at Churchstoke, a small
village in Montgomeryshire, there is TO
be seen grsvestone which bears the in
scription recording the death OF q maiden
lady who, nevertheless, is actually living
in the village referred to and within a
short distance from her tom mbstonei
Her brothers and sisters died in the
early part OF this century, and a single
stone announces their deaths. IL stood
undistur bed until 1886, when IL was reno
vated, and at that time the lady referred
to, who was then in her sixty-eighth
year, gave orders to local stone mason
to insert her name at the bottom OF the
stone. This was done, but he was rather
surprised to receive afurther order 10 add
the words Died 1850" At first he hesi-
tated, and afterward complied with the
request, although he did not credit his
customer with any remarkable degree OF
prophecy.
Year after year passed by, and when 1880
came the eccentric lady was still living,
perhaps contrary to her own expecta-
tions. The epitaph now confronts her
every time she wends her way 10 church
service. SO robust is she that since 1889
she has visited America, and apparently
derived considerable benefit from the
voyage.
The following is q copy OF the inscrip-
tion on the stone:
"In memory OF Edward Lockiey, stone
mason, son OF John and Mary Lockley.
who died July 80. isl3, aged thirty-sir
years. Also John, their son, who died
December Z, 1886, aged thirty Ave years.
Also Thomas, Richard and Joseph, their
sons, who died in their infancy. Also
Sarah, their daughter, born August \,
1919; died isso."-London Tit Bits.
