I don't know if I ever posted this info before. It's an extract of a website of famous burial sites. Contains a few factual errors but doesn't EVERY Lizzie article:

DEDHAM, MASS.

Pine Ridge Cemetery
238 Pine Street.

Laddie Miller, Lizzie Borden's dog.
Royal Nelson, Lizzie Borden's dog.
Donald Stewart, Lizzie Borden's fog.
Lizzie buried all three dogs in one grave with a single headstone with the dog's names and the words "Sleeping Awhile." The name Borden is at the bottom.
Igloo, Admiral Richard E. Byrd's dog. His monument is in the shape of an iceberg.

FALL RIVER, MASS - Andrew and Abbey Borden were axed to death here in their home at 92 (now 240) Second Street on August 4th, 1892.
* Lizzie Borden attended church at the First Congregational Church at 282 Rock St.
* Lizzie was born on July 19, 1860 in her grandfather's house at 12 Ferry St. The site in 1990 was a refuse-filled vacant lot.
* The Borden murder house was turned into a Bed & Breakfast in 1997. One can sleep in Lizzie's room for $250 per day.
* Lizzie died in her home she called "Maplecroft" here at 306 French Street on June 2, 1927.
* The Fall River Historical Society displays Andrew Borden's skull, a wooden stool from Lizzie's cell in the Taunton jail, a bedspread splattered with Abby Borden's blood, and a lock of Abby's brown hair.

* Oak Grove Cemetery
at 765 Prospect St.

Andrew Borden, father of Lizzie Borden. He was axed to death in 1892 and was buried here without his head. His head and that of Abbey's were cut off by the coroner and sent to Harvard U. for examination. His headstone has only the initials A. J. B. on it. The Borden's are inside the entrance of the cemetery, under four large oak trees. He lies between his two wives, Sarah and Abby.

Sarah Borden. Andrew's first wife and Lizzie's birth mother. Sarah's two-year-old daughter, Alice Esther, lies next to her.

Abby Borden, stepmother of Lizzie Borden. Like Andrew, she was buried without her head.. Her headstone has only the initials A.D.B. on it.

Lizzie Borden, alleged killer of her father and stepmother. She died on June 2, 1927, at age 68. Her headstone has only the name Lizbeth on it.

Emma Borden, sister of Lizzie. She is buried next to Lizzie. She died on June 10, 1927, eight days after Lizzie, she was 76.

Super job Harry...you have got to be the BEST in Bordenina...honest to gawd...and by the way...kudos to you for your fabulous "talents and efforts" from this subcriber of the LBQ for your contrib in this current issue.

You did a fantastic job on the "Trial Testimony of Mr. John Vinnicum -Part III", pg. 10-17 & 23.

You're the BEST, H.W., that's my tale and I'm stickin' to it.

Shucks Bob, you embarass me.  Mr. Bertolet always has kind words to say.

That was quite an issue for members of this board.

Both Terence and Sherry Chapman had two articles. And the LBQ recognizes that Stefani's LizzieAndrewBorden website is the best there is on the subject.  Not a bad issue.
