Friends of Oak Grove Cemetery Event

The Friends of Oak Grove Cemetery is excited to present our next fundraising event.

Sunday, November 14, 2010. Fall River Country Club. 6pm.

Join us as we present the tale of the final moments of Capt. Henry Brightman, a Fall River sea captain from the early 1800s who was captured by pirates, his vessel seized and his crew terrorized.

A riveting account of deceit, treachery, and murder on the high seas brought to life by Brightman’s family and the surviving crew members.

A tale noticeably missing from our local history books, one believed to have been lost for nearly 200 years……..

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
