On Episode 36: I’m going to read The Raven, by Edgar Allen Poe. While not an obituary, The Raven, Wikipedia tells us, is a narrative poem, first published in January 1845, and is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow descent into madness. In other words, a perfect piece for a slightly different episode of The Obituary Files.

On Episode 32: The Greenville Advocate, Saturday April 25, 1931.
Sometimes curiosity gets the better of me and I do some digging and find that there’s more to say than simply reading an obituary.
Like in the case with Miss Lucille Drew, who was born August 3, 1906, and died on April 18, 1931.
If I can shine a light on Lucille’s story then maybe her light will shine again, if only for a moment.
