...or in this case, it's more like love will in. Inter, that is. Next Monday, the 26th of June, the bodies of the wife and daughter of Nathaniel Hawthorne will be returned to Concord, from England, and will be laid to rest beside the famous, local author in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
Details:
Monday, June 26, 2006. 2:30 - 5:00 pm.
In a private ceremony sponsored by Hawthorne's family and the order of The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, the remains of Sophia and Una Hawthorne will be transferred to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord and buried next to Nathaniel. Following the interment, the public is invited to attend a public reception at The Old Manse from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. Rumor has it (living) author, Megan Marshall will be onhand to say a few words. The Old Manse is located at 269 Monument Street, Concord, MA. For information please call 978-369-3909.
In truth, I'm a firm believer that our bodies are just shells that house our spirits. Nonetheless, I think this is kind of cool...if only symbolic. Even if you don't attend the ceremony at The Old Manse, you might want to stop by The Concord Bookshop where you'll find a table of book by Hawthorne and Peabody Sisters books signed by Megan Marshall.
What better reason to visit Sleepy Hollow Cemetery??
See you there~
