Golgotha Gingham

Golgotha Gingham was the undertaker in the small Canadian town of Mariposa, Ontario. 
== Personality ==
Gingham acted as a close friend to many of the people of Mariposa as method of making sure he'd get their business after they passed."To be present at the hotel was in accord with Mr. Gingham's general conception of his business. No man had ever grasped the true principles of undertaking more thoroughly than Mr. Gingham. I have often heard him explain that to associate with the living, uninteresting though they appear, is the only way to secure the custom of the dead.'"Get to know people really well while they are alive," said Mr. Gingham; "be friends with them, close friends and then when they die you don't need to worry. You'll get the order every time.""

== Physical Appearance ==
Gingham was a man with a sallow complexion, who dressed in black, wore black gloves, and wore a black silk hat."Still more noticeable, perhaps, was the quiet, sallow looking man dressed in black, with black gloves and with black silk hat heavily craped and placed hollow-side-up on a chair. This was Mr. Golgotha Gingham, the undertaker of Mariposa, and his dress was due to the fact that he had just come from what he called an "interment."" - Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town
