Reply #7: Here are a couple from old New England graveyards.

[Justpat]

Under the sod
And under the trees
Lies the body of Johnathan Peas

He is not here
There is only the pod
Peas shelled out
And went to God.



And this one must refer to some medical precursor
to Alka Seltzer:

Here lies the body of Susan Lowder
Who burst while drinking Seidlitz Powder

Gone to her home and her heavenly rest
She should have waited till it effervesced.
