A lot of the older obituaries were very chatty about stuff we wouldn't dream of saying in an obit today.

There's Mary's second husband, David Andrew Williams' (http://dee-burris.livejournal.com/20637.html) obit, which is really graphic. And the same for one of my Chapin relatives, Ward Chapin. (http://dee-burris.livejournal.com/25640.html) That one is very, um, descriptive.
