Once upon a time, I found myself, quite unwillingly, a resident of south-central Pennsylvania. Being a displaced New Englander in south-central Pennsylvania gave me a unique perspective on the local dead celebrity scene. After being raised in a region that considers the graves of Hancock, Adams and Kennedy to be commonplace, it's difficult to get excited by the grave of the father of the guy who gave some property back to the state to found a capital city that 80% of the nation thinks is Philadelphia anyway. And thus, this website was originally born. It was designed to be sarcastic look at what the locals considered celebrities of the deceased variety. Aside from the fact that I happen to like exploring cemeteries, it was a nice way to take cheap shots at local icons.
    Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, it started showing up on local history and genealogy websites. And nothing takes the fun out of being a smart-ass like being cited as a resource. So now it's simply a collection of headstones I've stumbled across or sought out. The requirements for inclusion are simple 1.) Be Dead. 2.) Be some one I recognize 3.) Be photogenic.
