Here lies the bones of Mary Jones
Her life held no terrors
Born a virgin, died a virgin
No runs, no hits,no errors

From the Auld Wesht:
Here lies Lester Moore,
Four slugs from a 44,
No less no more.
This stone was raised by Sarah's lord, Not Sarah's virtues to record, For they're well known to all in town, But it was raised to keep Sarah down.
Here lieth the body of Martha Dias, Always busy and not very pious, Who lived to the age of tree score ten, And gave to worms what she refused to men.

Here lies the body of Mary Knox
Who gave a hundred men the pox

Her heart waS good but her c###t was rotten...

This one was removed from near our place but it was witnessed by many ...
"Under these stones lies Mary O'Conner.
They are not the first stones that were laid upon her."

My favorite found in a rural grave yard near Middletown, Ohio
Remember me as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now soon you will be
Remember death, come follow me.
