Notes and Events.
This does not seem to read quite right. It is a monumental inscription on the tomb of an Australian lady. " Six feet under this turf lie's Mally McMahon, tho unluckiest women in X — , inasmuch as bom on April Ist 1810, this sore distressed female, after burying and lamenting five stalwart husbands, was herself interred by the breaved sixth, Justin John McMahon on Ash Wednesday. 1860."
' ' Thou had'st no luck through all thy life Till death did close thine eyes."
Here is one more epitaph from the same quarter. " Pair Widow Dumpling lies under this stone A Btrikbi(j female with muscle and bone. Her lovers she thwacked, she would not say " Yea " ' Still true to cold Dumpling, she always cried "Nay."
