I managed to procrastinate a term paper until 1 week before the due date. For four days, I finally forced myself to simply immerse myself in the library stacks of my university and spent three days just like this, with a hundred sticky notes and constantly flipping between places kept with fingers. The resulting paper was used as an example for the next two semesters. About a year later, Wikipedia launched. I miss those days a bit.

the "Poe Toaster" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe_Toaster

Sorry, ORIGINAL? Was he moved and this was erected after that, or was the Poe estate expecting shenanigans?

That's where his body was for ~26 years after his death. It was originally essentially an unmarked grave in the back of the churchyard. Eventually people realized where he was buried and funds were raised to move him to the front of the churchyard/cemetery and erect a monument. In his original location, they put up that small monument to inform people.

yes, as PTH describes, and as befits the man, it is an odd tale. https://www.eapoe.org/balt/poegrave.htm
