The Weather
Today I came to recall a "wisdom" by my East Prussian grandma (respectively a traditional thinking in that area in her days) claiming that how the weather turns out at someone's burial corresponds to his "peace of mind" about death. I.e.the worse the weather the more the person clung to life. Right now I am not sure if I recall the weather at Abraham Lincoln's burial in Springfield correctly (rather poor), and not in detail, or mix it up with a stop of the funeral train (and currently cannot check my books). Does anyone know? Thanks!
