FL Hurricanes delay funerals - how sad! Written by John Ellingsworth    Wednesday, 07 July 2004 Series of Fla. Hurricanes Delay Funerals By JILL BARTON, Associated Press Writer FORT PIERCE, Fla. - The four-in-a-row hurricanes that have disrupted lives across Florida have also delayed life's final journey for many. Funerals have been put off for weeks in some places because the ground is too soggy for burials or because scattered family members cannot be assembled. Many undertakers have also had trouble finding doctors to sign death certificates. They have had to scramble to find electricity to run the refrigerated rooms where bodies are stored. Some have had to struggle just to find water to mix the embalming fluids and cleanse the bodies.

Written by John Ellingsworth    Wednesday, 07 July 2004 The fictional story below was sent to me by Jack Myers from his soon to be released (sometime in 2005) book Row House Days, which is about his childhood in Southwest Philadelphia during the 1960s. He's changed all the names in the story to protect the innocent - Mt. Moriah is Mt. Lebanon, Cobbs Creek is Dobbs Creek, Crazy George is Crazy Sam, etc. but if you are familiar with the area, you will probably recognize the names. I would suggest all who read it drop Mr. Myers a line and tell him you read the story; I am sure he would love to hear back from you! A big thanks to Jack for sharing his hard work!

The Victorian burial ground that sprawls from Ferry Avenue north along Mount Ephraim Avenue in the southeast corner of the city was heavily covered in chest-high grasses. Currently in bankruptcy, the 85-acre facility has, for several years, been almost totally abandoned to the raw forces of nature.
