The cemetery spread along the area known as Devils Abode. Melinda and I strolled among the headstones reading names and epithets. The list of the currently interred could go on forever but notables included:
**
Bonnie Parker
1910 – 1934
It’s much better than being caught.
**
Idi Amin Dada
President for Life
1925 – 2003
**
Arizona Donnie Barker
Beloved Mother
1873 – 1935
**
Saloth Sar
1925 – 1998
**
Susan “Sadie May Glutz” Atkins
1948 – 2009
**
Joseph Stalin
1878 – 1953
**
Ulrike Meinhof
1934 – 1976
Protest is when I say this does not please me.
Resistance is when I ensure what does not please me occurs no more.
**
John Lackland
Bad King John
1166 – 1216
**
Ilse Koch
1906 – 1967
**
Maximillien Robespierre
1758 – 1794
**
Some that we expected to see we did not. Caretakers told us, when we asked, that a lot of the monuments are stolen by souvenir hunters. There is still plenty of room there. Let’s hope it stays that way.
Excellent take on the prompt – love it!

Even in death they ought to be incarcerated, indeed. What is it you’ve said before? I like the way your mind works…?

Great take on the prompt! I hope the empty space in that cemetery remains that way, but I fear not.

An interesting take on the prompt. Unfortunately I think there will be many more people joining that cemetery in the centuries yet to come. Nicely done. 🙂
