B. P. Roberts, Key West Cemetery, Florida

This is one of the most interesting graves in Key West Cemetery.
 
'I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK
B. P. ROBERTS
MAY 17. 1929
JUNE 18. 1979'
 
The Key West Cemetery 'Self-Guided Tour' leaflet describes Roberts as a 'local hypochondriac', although to go at fifty is pretty early. This huge structure was very easy to find, and yet in spite of the indications in the leaflet, after much searching we had to give up on finding the poet Juana Borrero and 'Sloppy' Joe Russell too.
