Humor: Whoever said, "You can't take it with you" was obviously not referring to a sense of humor ... Here is a list of actual epitaphs from departed souls who clearly had more to say than the time to say it, or from their next of kin, who wanted to be sure they literally had the last word: On the grave of Ezekial Aikle in East Dalhousie Cemetery, Nova Scotia: Here lies In a London, England cemetery: Ann Mann In a Ribbesford, England, cemetery: Anna Wallace Playing with names in a Ruidoso, New Mexico, cemetery: Here lies Johnny Yeast Memory of an accident in a Uniontown, Pennsylvania cemetery: Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery: Here lays Butch, A widow wrote this epitaph in a Vermont cemetery: Sacred to the memory of my husband John Barnes A lawyer's epitaph in England: Sir John Strange Someone determined to be anonymous in Stowe, Vermont: I was somebody. Lester Moore was a Wells Fargo station agent for Naco, Arizona in the cowboy days of the 1880's. He's buried in the Boot Hill Cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona: Here lies Lester Moore In a Georgia cemetery: "I told you I was sick!" John Penny's epitaph in the Wimborne, England, cemetery: Reader if cash thou art On Margaret Daniels grave at Hollywood Cemetery Richmond, Virginia: She always said In a cemetery in Hartscombe, England: On the 22nd of June Anna Hopewell's grave in Enosburg Falls, Vermont has an epitaph that sounds like something from a Three Stooges movie: Here lies the body of our Anna Here's more fun with names, this time featuring Owen Moore in Battersea, London, England: Gone away Someone in Winslow, Maine didn't like Mr Wood: In Memory of Beza Wood On a grave from the 1880's in Nantucket, Massachusetts: Under the sod and under the trees The grave of Ellen Shannon in Girard, Pennsylvania is almost a consumer tip: Who was fatally burned Here's Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York: Born 1903--Died 1942 In a Thurmont, Maryland, cemetery: Here lies an Atheist
