Tombstone Tuesday - Lizzie Borden

Lizzie Borden July 19, 1860 – June 1, 1927, also known as Lisbeth Borden or Lizzie Andrew Borden, is famous—or infamous—for allegedly murdering her father and stepmother in 1892 (she was acquitted), and memorialized in the children's rhyme:

Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks
And when she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one

Lizzie Borden died at Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1927, her legend as a murderess still strong. She was buried next to her father and stepmother, Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA. The home in which the murders took place opened as a bed-and-breakfast in 1992.
