105 Year Old Virgin
Mary Grace Spencer was a born in 1902 and was the most regular churchgoer of the Virgin Hill Baptist Church in Pikeville Tennessee. Not a Sunday ceremony passed by without Mary Grace’s presence. Even when she took a vacation at Tiptonville she always managed to return home for the Sunday prayers. Mary Grace never seemed to be interested n the opposite sex, though she had her far share of suitors banging on her front porch door. Rumours spread over the years of her attraction to members of her own sex were entirely without foundation.
In celebration of her 105th birthday Virgin Hill Baptist Church was repainted and filled with decorations to commemorate this special event.
At 9:00 A.M. sharp the congregation gathered. Every good Christian from miles around honoured the good lady with his presence. Only one citizen was absent, the birthday girl herself. Mary Grace had never in her life been late for church which caused great anxiety among the church goers. At 9:30 a party of three of her friends was send to find her. They found dead body laying face down on her living room carpet. From her left hand they managed to extract a note.
“I know I haven’t got long to live. My last earthly request is to have the following words engraved on my tombstone.
“Here lies Mary Grace Charity Spencer. Born a virgin, lived a virgin and died a virgin.”
The note was duly passed on to Frank the undertaker who promised to do his best.
When the tombstone was unveiled, Frank was forced to admit that he had to adjust the requested wording to read as shown in this cemetery photo:
