| Ripley's Believe It or Not. Indianapolis Star. |
A sketch featuring the tombstone of my 3rd-great-grandfather John O'Brien made it into Ripley's Believe It or Not cartoon (undated in the clipping above appearing in the Indianapolis Star, perhaps sometime around 1979 given the copyright in above the Jogger rock drawing image). My Gumpy included this in the short story describing his painting of John O'Brien.
From Findagrave, below is a photo of John's headstone, located in Glenwood Cemetery in Shelbyville, Illinois, just as described in the cartoon.
