Monday's Notes

I started going through some of my mom's collections of letters and and postcards passed to her in the old trunk. I came across an interesting notice from the Widows' and Orphans' Fund in 1925 telling of the death of someone. I thought it interesting the accustomed wording during the time period:
"It is with deep regret that we announce that the Grim Reaper has summoned _____ member of the Widows' and Orphan's Fund, to the unseen Pyramid above."

I love peeping into history....

  1. Whoa! The Unseen Pyramid!

    When I die, will you refer to my resting place as that?
