A Poetic Experience: Reading 500+ names from CM obituaries This may be the most unusual article ever on ColumbiaMagazine. It's long. And was intensely engrossing for me. And if you start reading it with 'Ada Bell, Addie, Adell. . . , you may not be able to stop until you reach the ending, ...Yuletide, Zachariah, Zachary." By Jon Halsey For the past two years Ive been collecting unique first names from CMs obituary files as well as Jims articles and other Columbia Magazine sources. I found these names to be noble and unique which are attributes we all aspire to and therefore decided to collect them. Many of these names were the parents of individuals who died in their nineties and are therefore well over a hundred years old. The list has now exceeded 500 names in total and I need to move on to other things. I think you would agree that Alora and Mazy have a little more intrigue than Ann or Mary and Elam and Jow are a little less pedestrian than Ed or Jon. However, I'm not sure COF would trade for Ceoda or Clesbie. Reading them aloud in Alpha order is quite a poetic experience and like Styron "I felt caught up in a reverie of years long past" sort of like the feeling when coming across a long abandoned homestead far off the beaten track.
