Custis Tomb 0
A reporter from the local rag tells of trekking to Custis Tomb on the Eastern Shore and wonders about the implications of the epitaph on the tomb of John Custis IV:
Eastern Shore legend does not wonder, but unequivocally holds that Mr. Custis was most unhappily married.
The story told by my father states that, one day, accompanied by his wife, Mr. Custis steered his carriage into the Chesapeake Bay.
“Mr. Custis,” asked his wife, “where are you going?”
“To hell, Mrs. Custis.”
“Drive on, Mr. Custis, drive on.”
