Unusual inscription on gravestone

[chickmonk 10]

I'm going there, do you have a location / nearest town / map ref? I'll ask around.

 

It's in the grounds of a lighthouse on the cliffs, far end of the island. Apologies if there is more than one lighthouse!

 

Tis lovely place. You going walking, climbing or what? (I'm a nosey beggar!)

I know who Aleister Crowley is! (thanks though)

 

It is for this reason that I know the graveyard to be fake (and also, therefore, to be somewhat an oddity). The dates on the graves did not make sense either.

 

I think it is the Illuminati at work.

 

Or a badger.

Oh, and wives are more often than not described as mere 'relicts' of their husbands. SOOOO glad I'm alive now!

 

Not mere relicts, the term was used to signify widow. Just the language of the 19th. century.

Exactly. 'Just' the language of a time before women were seen as equal human beings in law, and according to the dogma of the church, were their husband's property.

 

P.S. Waltheof - I've sussed you! How's it going?

Don't you just love it when that happens..

 

I collared a mate at work and hit her with her forum name last week and she was incredulous that I knew who she was

Not so much 'unusual' but comforting -

 

The family chain is broken

Nothing seems the same

But as God calls us, one by one,

The links will form again

Robert Burns wrote epitaphs, this one cropped up when I was doing some family history research - same surname, same area of Scotland as many of my ancestors, but no connection found yet. Although its written in Scots dialect, its fairly clear?

 

Epitaph For Mr. William Michie

Schoolmaster of Cleish Parish, Fifeshire. 1787

Here lie Willie Michie's banes

Oh Satan when ye tak him

Gie him the schulin o' your weans

For clever deils he'll mak them

My Dad's such a hypochondriac that we've suggested that his headstone should be inscribed with the words "Now Do You Believe Me?"
