I was walking past a very old graveyard today, and saw some names I really liked. What do you all think? Have you seen any cool names on headstones?
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Everly[/name]
[name]Lillie[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name], I can’t remember her father’s name, He was a minister in a very old church in [name]Charleston[/name], SC
[name]Isabel[/name]
When I was in the 3rd and 4th grades, my family lived next to a large, historic cemetery. Our neighbors two doors down just happened to be one of the local morticians and his family. Neither of our houses had much of a yard, so I spent a lot of time playing in the cemetery with my sister and the mortician’s children. Only now do I realize how creepy that was.
Here are some of the noteworthy names from that cemetery:
[name]Lovie[/name] [name]America[/name]
[name]Major[/name] [name]General[/name]
[name]Ira[/name] [name]Gaylord[/name] (we thought this was the funniest thing)
[name]Birdie[/name] Song
[name]Hortense[/name], [name]Horton[/name], and [name]Horace[/name] (siblings)
[name]Ora[/name] [name]Cole[/name] (like oracle)
[name]William[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]Williams[/name] (this still stumps me)
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Diamond[/name] [name]Silver[/name] (full name)
[name]Butch[/name] Slayer (first and last name)
That’s all I can remember at the moment.
