comment
Spoon River Anthology is a book of mostly short poems by Edgar Lee Masters, first serialized in 1914 and then collected in volume form in 1915. A lesser-known sequel, The New Spoon River, appeared in 1924. The sequence takes the form of epitaphs of people who lived in an Illinois community. It's available on Project Gutenberg, and can also be read online here.

All Are Equal in Death
 Spoon River Anthology / int_15800db3
comment
All Are Equal in Death: Much to the fury of some of the speakers, who dislike where they've been buried or how their graves are being treated. Chase Henry, the town drunk, is delighted to find himself next to some of the town's wealthiest citizens. Judge Somers, by contrast, is irate about the contrast between his own "unmarked" grave and Henry's. Invoked more positively by Homer Clapp, who welcomes this outcome. Implied by Jeduthan Hawley, the undertaker, when discussing how people in the town seem to die in pairs (he died in the same week as town prostitute Daisy Fraser).
