Gravestones of unknown people.


These were former citizens or visitors to the town of Innsmouth, and buried in Whately cemetary, before it was brought over from the other world. Each of there gravestones read;

"Here I lie with my three daughters,

who died drinking Chelt'nam waters. If we had stuck to Epsom Salt,

We should not sleep in this could vault."

"Strong and athletic was my frame;

Far from my native home I came, And mandly fought with Simon Byrne; Alas! but liv'd not to return.

Reader, take warning by my fate;

If you ever fought before, Determine now to fight no more."

I plant these shrubs upon your grave, dear wife,

That something on this spot may boast of life.

Shrubs must whither and all earth must rot;

Shrubs may revive: but you, thank heaven, will not.
