Tombstone Tuesday
Today seemed like a good day to publish the tombstone of a politician, it being Inauguration Day and all.
This is the burial site of one of Oklahoma’s first two senators, Thomas P. Gore, grandfather of Gore Vidal. He was blind as the result of two separate childhood accidents.
Thomas Pryor Gore
1870 MS – 1949 DC
Fairlawn Cemetery

I love Oklahoma. I love every blade of her grass. I love every grain of her sands. I am proud of her past and I am confident of her future. The virtues that made us great in the past can keep us great in the future. We must march, and not merely mark time.”
