Drunkard Curtis and the Drunken Grave
An 1837 New England tale recalls Joseph Curtis, prosperous New England farmer, who rejects religion, succumbs to alcohol, and ruins his family. After his wife dies, he slides from sorrow into rum, his son Ephraim aids in vain, and Curtis dies in a tavern grog shop, buried in the drunkard’s grave.
