## Resource

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 181 – Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger visit a Little Compton, Rhode Island, cemetery in search of the grave of Elizabeth, whose epitaph reads: Should have been the wife of Simeon Palmer. Elizabeth died in 1776. Was her epitaph an indication that she's still pining for Simeon, the guy who got away? Or is there something else behind the strange message?
