BILL NYe's NEGLECTED. GRAVE.
Empty Bottle Thrust Into the Sod
Marks the Humorist's Resting Place.

49, 'Noh''9 ' "
Surprise was occasioned recently at
Asheyille, n. c.. by a brief item which
appeared in one of the local papers
stating that the grave of Bill Nye, hui
morist, which is the graveyard of a
country church near Fletcher, n. c.,
thirteen miles from Asheville, was un.
marked by a stone of any kind. The
story was denied by friends OF the
family, but the fact remains that the
grave OF the great merrymaker, whose
deep sympathy for the neglected and
the weak was the basis of his deli.
cate humor. is undistinguishable from
the "old field" in which il is located
save by an empty bottle thrust, mouth
down, into the sod at the head of the
grave, and a loose stone placed,
probably by accident. at the foot.
In Calvary church there is a hand.
some memorial window placed there
by Mrs. Nye. Why the grave has
been neglected no one seems to know.
Since her husbands death. 1t is said,
Mrs. Nye. who is in New York. has

Buckshoals. the former home of the
Nyes, is n modern frame dwelling
house, well equipped with modern con.
veniences. From its front veranda
there is a lovely view of mountain
scenery. and a flashing mountain
stream makes constant music at the
edge of the lawn. On the grounds is
a capncious ball room, built with an
exterior in imitation of a log cabin,
over whose polished floor the Misses
Nye and their many friends were wont
to glide in many a merry dance dur.
ing the happy three years the family
lived in this ideal country seat. He
did most of his syndicate writing and
entertained his intimate friends in the
title tower 10 above the veranda.
