Re: 150 Years Ago Today...August 21, 1860

Yeah Mike, it is a catchy line, whether literal or not. The first thought that came to my mind is that it would be painful to the grieving family members, but that is my 21st Century point of view. I have seen several early 20th Century obituaries that describe the cause of death and suffering in graphic detail.
