Mary Elizabeth Baker, U.S. cemetery committee head. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 15 (June 13, 1988).
Head of a Concord, Massachusetts, cemetery committee, she was referring to a tombstone located near those of the great authors Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) and Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862); it read, “Who the hell is Sheila Shea?”
