Harry Edsel Smith, Albany, New York:

Born 1903 - Died 1942

Looked up the elevator shaft
to see if the car was on the way down.
It was.

Here lies Ann Mann,
Who lived an old maid
But died an old Mann.

John Penny, Wimborne, Dorset:

Reader, if cash thou art
In want of any,
Dig 6 feet deep;
And thou wilt find a Penny.
