Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we learned from our local HISTORY?:
WIBCI if you knew more/some/any information about the people that lived, where you live, before you?:
Suggestion:
Go check out your local cemetery. Give yourself time, proper footwear and wander.
Fact:
Cemeteries have supposedly inspired authors’ character names.
In my cemetery…..
One man was struck by lightning, there is a memorial commemorating the victims of a shipwreck, and a pyramid on a hill overlooked by two lions that says ‘As Above so Below’ which is from the The Kybalion a book originally published in 1908 by “Three Initiates” that purports to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus (a Hellenistic period figure and the purported author of the Hermetica, that laid the basis of various philosophical systems known as Hermeticism).
I’ve found a Sylvester and a Mickey, as well as, a Eunice, Edith, Este, Everett, Edna, Esther, and Electa. A Ruby and a Rufus, a Mahala and a Mehitable.
A George near a Martha and a Betsy, a Laura near an Ingalls and an Annette Hall.
I’ve found a Josephine and Boniface, as well as, a Byron, Bertha, Blanche, a Belle and, all five Bennett girls.
There is an Albina and an Ebony, a Curtis near a Martin and, an Orlando and a Philadelphia. A Charlie and a Chaplin, a Mrs. Butterworth, a Gardener, a Porter, and a Potter.
I’ve found a Wilbur, Wilmer, Wilmot, Walter, (What-chu-talkin-bout-)Willis and the elusive, Waldo.
Oh and for Eddie Murphy fans…. there is a Lillian that cannot leave the graveyard.
Who’s in YOURS?
