That Tombstone: It Caused Some Trouble To A Susquehanna County Farmer- A vicinity farmer some time since had the misfortune to lose a good wife. For a while he was inconsolable, and he spent much of his time weeping over her grave. He visited a marble dealer and gave an order for a fine monument. At the end of the inscription he caused this sentence to be chiseled: "My light has gone out." Months later the sad eyed widower visited Connecticut, where he met a widow fair, fat and forty-nine. It was a case of mash and marry at once. After the ceremony the bridegroom thought of the monument and there came an idea that perhaps the sentence about the light going out might not be just the proper thing under present conditions. He therefore wired the marble man not to cut the sentence on the stone. But the message came too late. The marble man had done his work. But he had a few original ideas, as the sequence will show. A few days after the newly wedded couple arrived on the farm, the bridegroom suddenly took it into his head that he ought to do something towards making his wife extra happy. And so he took her to the grave of his first wife. The monument was a handsome one. The inscription closed with this: "My light has gone out." "P.S. I have got another match." The bridegroom said not a word, but the next day he ordered the stone taken from the cemetery to the marble shop. Today, at the suggestion of the bride, the monument bears this legend; "Death is a grim reaper, but time heals all sorrows."
