Update on Archie Arnold’s Grave

Christopher Crawford — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:58:14 +0000

A visitor to my website left a comment on my blog giving me a link to info on why Archie Arnold had the expired parking meters on his tombstone. He got the meters after backing over them on the street in his hometown in Ohio and after paying the town to replace them, he asked for them and kept them for his grave. He was dying from liver disease and thought the expired meters would be funny, so he changed his will to require that the meters be mounted by his grave.

Snap One

This old door closes off the space between two old buildings on Wells Street in Fort Wayne. The graffiti tag practically begged me to Snap One of it!

Archie Arnold has Expired!

A pair of expired parking meters adorn Archie Arnold’s tombstone at the Scipio Cemetery in rural Allen County’s Scipio Township.

Mr Arnold, who was born in 1920, and died in 1982, certainly had a sense of humor! The back of the tombstone, shown in my photograph, has a quote engraved upon it: “Fear the Lord and tell the people what you want.”

Old farmhouse in southern Indiana

I made this photograph over four years ago, in February of 2006, while driving back to Fort Wayne after visiting a friend in Louisville. This house sits on a hill overlooking Interstate 65 in southern Indiana.

Too Much Information!

I was driving down Spy Run Avenue in Fort Wayne a few days ago when I had to stop at the traffic light at the corner of Spy Run and Fourth Street. I glanced over toward the old building that houses Cardinal Tattoo when my eye caught this little kid-size 20 inch BMX bike leaned against the front of the tattoo shop.

Trees in Black & White

Here is a black & white photograph of the landscape scene that I posted a few days ago. These four trees stood along Yohne Road in southwest Allen County, Indiana until they were bulldozed last year to make way for an expansion of the National Serv-All landfill.
