Dead Man in the Road

"28th Year" August 2013


near Morason, August 2013

Found this unusual memorial in Phippsburg, Maine on Route 209 on the way to Popham Beach. A little digging led me to another photographer's rendering of the marker and some interesting information in his comments. Also, here's a link to DownEast magazine's take on how Mr. Morason/Morrison arrived at his final roadside resting place.

Gathering Dust

"We drove past a fireworks warehouse the size of a cathedral, and at least three bundles of fatality markers: small white crosses and plastic flowers gathering dust on the side of the road."
Dark Places, Gillian Flynn, © 2009

The term "fatality marker" was new to me and led to an internet search revealing a fair amount of discussion about the difference between a roadside marker vs. a memorial. An American Legion program in Montana is outlined here. RoadsideAmerica.com has a story about a variety of memorials/markers. And, this article talks about Florida's approach to fatality markers and safety. 

Maybe time to plan a road trip?
