Dead people — you can’t live with them, and you can’t live without them

MENDOTA –  The Graves-Hume Public Library will be hosting a special program, “Dead People of Illinois,” on Tuesday, Sept. 25.

The feature slide show will be presented by John Lynn beginning at 6 p.m.

Searching for dead people in all the right places, this “underground” presentation explores hundreds of Illinois cemeteries to find interesting graves and headstones, intriguing lives and deaths, and lots and plots of funny names. It is an opportunity for mortals to not only whistle past the graveyard, but to pause and enjoy the oddities of life and death while they are still on the right side of history. Warning: grave subject matter.

To register for this program, call (815) 538-5142.
