To the Green Memory of William Hawkings, Gardener: Planted Here With Love and Care By His Grieving Colleagues

Here lies Scott Jacobson – Who came upon an evil lich, he didn't even think to run, and ended up in this ditch

I bowl'd, I struck, I caught, I stopp'd. Sure life's a game of cricket; I block'd with care, with caution popp'd, yet Death has hit my wicket.

See, I told you I was SICK!

I put my wife beneath this stone, for her repose and for my own.

Ma Loves Pa – Pa Loves Women – Ma Caught Pa, With 2 in Swimmin – Here Lies Pa…

Lawrence L. Cook Jr. 10-29-1934 — 8-1-2004

Here lies the body of Richard Thomas, an Englishman by birth, a Whig of '76 – a Cooper by trade, now food for worms. Like an old rum puncheon whose staves are all marked and numbered he will be raised and put together again by his Maker.

Here lies the body of William Beck – He was thrown at a hunt and broke his neck.

Beneath this silent tomb is laid, a noisy antiquated maid, who from her cradle talked till death, and ne'er before was out of breath.

Here lies two brothers by misfortune surrounded; one died of wounds, but the other was drownded.

Here lies a man never beat by a plan, straight was his aim and sure of his game, never was a lover but invented a revolver.

At last, a year-round resident

Here lies my corpse who was the man, That lov'd a sop in dripping pan, But now believe me I am dead, Now here the pan stands at my head, Still for sop to the last I cry'd, But could not eat and so I died, My neighbours they perhaps may laugh, When they do read my epitaph.

Here lies Sir John Guise: No one laughs, no one cries: Where he's gone, and how he fares, No one knows, and no one cares.

He didn't believe in God; And when he did, they argued.

Underneath this ancient pew, lie the remains of Jonathan Blue; his name was Black, but that wouldn't do.

He looked for gold and died of lead poison

Beneath this stone lies Lamb asleep, who died a Lamb who lived a sheep. Many a lamb and sheep he slaughtered but cruel Death the scene has altered.

Here lie I and my three daughters, All from drinking the Cheltenham waters. While if we had kept to the Epsom salts, We should not now be in these here vaults.
