A picture from the Victorian era of two parents with their dead daughter in the middle. Notice how sharp the image of the daughter is compared to the parents, it was impossible for the living to hold perfectly still long enough for the shutter to cycle.
Glenna June Bellomy Anderson (1926 - 2008). When the cemetery sexton sold Glenna her stone, her request for the inscription on it was “I was… somebody.” He said the reason was that Glenna felt that many years after she died no one would probably remember her anyway. By having this inscription on her stone, people would see & remember it. Park Cemetery, Carthage, Missouri. (Source)
