Focus on the Legendary Boothill Graveyard: Delta William, 1881, suicide. "Colored proprietress of a lodging house on Toughnut Street. Suicide by taking arsenic." She is one of the few women whose graves are marked at Boothill. Another one, however, died of the same cause, suicide, in the same year: Mrs. Pring. She also lived on Toughnut Street. So says the pamphlet put out by the cemetery association. And, right there is enough material for a good short story. [2018]
