The following notice was found in the "Ellsworth American" newspaper,
of Ellsworth, Maine from the year 1891. The newspaper is still
publishing each week, about 150 years so far. A great sense of humor is
evident, but no author is listed.
Whereas our not so hotsy-totsy sister, Susannah Persis Fluetta Wussener,
has seen fit to depart this life, having done so by running headlong
into a hurricane off Killdeer Point without benefit of oars in her skiff
(never having had both oars in the water during her earthly life),
therefore, be it resolved that we, the happy as clams members of this
circle, do solemnly swear that we will henceforth enjoy being able to
promote at least one idea per meeting without having to listen to
twenty-five minutes of her opposing guff, resolved that we will deck the
halls with boughs of holly for the next 12 years in her memory and
resolved that the surviving members of her jubilant family will receive
a hearty handshake when meeting anywhere on the street and, time
permitting, will be dragged off to the nearest [restaurant],
courtesy of the su-per-flu-wus Memorial Trust.
