Worried about whether he went to where the "Worm Dyeth Not".......lol

On a side note: In my small cemetery, I used to have a Grave marker that said his name. "G.B.D." "Killed by the CARRS".... I live in a lead mining town and always wondered if it was the mining, OR a FAMILY named CARRS....

I say "used to" because a woman from Tulsa came to visit and within 2 months a few markers disappeared...

Worms got King Herod too. They still get people today in some countries, and where the "worm dyeth not" refers to hell, just in case you lost the reference. Maybe the guy had a bad rep. Kind of a harsh thing to say in a paper. Now gravestone stealing, that's just plain wrong.
