| John Doe, Charleston, S.C. |
I imagined John Doe to be a solitary, lonely gentleman but perhaps not. Married to Jane Doe?! Who knew?
According to Wikipedia, in the UK, Australia and New Zealand they use the name Joe Bloggs as we use John Doe? These are other "place holder" names: Average Joe, John Smith, John Q Public, Joe Shmoe and Tommy Atkins.
Below, I guess we can imagine what the Deaconess' favorite expression was. "Do Jesus." May she rest in peace. Do Jesus.
Mrs. Doe was five years Mr. Doe's senior. He died five years after she did. Now they ar the same age. Odd.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. These are in the lot next to the cemetery where they actually make tombstones. There is a chance they were never paid for or rejected for some reason.
DeleteSince two Doe's can't mate, I'm guessing he WAS very lonely. Poor man.

Love that!
DeleteThis is truly weird. If their birth and death dates are known, presumably their identities were also known, so why are they John Doe and Jane Doe? Either this was done up as a sample, or maybe they were in witness protection???
ReplyDeleteJack - It could indeed be a sample. These were in the lot next to the cemetery. I went in to look at a statue that turned out to be Mary with her head broken off. These two stones were there and may be either never paid for or samples.
