The following is the record of the first coffin made in Linn county: "Be it remembered that on the 21st day of June, A. D. 1841, James E. Bromwell filed his account in the Court of Probate against the estate of Martin Martindale, deceased, in the words and figures, to wit: "To J. E. Bromwell, Dr. "To one white walnut coffin, $12.00" Marion was the home for years of three Mexican war veterans, who were also veterans of the Civil war, viz: Thomas J. McKean, G. A.

is largely composed
Byron’s regular dramas, for instance, if they ever lived, are almost forgotten; but Heaven and Earth , which is still alive, is largely composed of lyrics, and the first two acts of Manfred are full of them. — from Oxford Lectures on Poetry by A. C. (Andrew Cecil) Bradley
If love comes
If love comes to her from the right source, she takes it gladly; otherwise she bravely goes her way alone, often showing the world that some of the most mother-hearted women are not really mothers. — from Threads of Grey and Gold by Myrtle Reed
I lived commanded
The hill on which I lived commanded an extensive view of the surrounding mountains, including the township with its old ivy-grown tower overlooking all, and which appeared as if it were sliding down the mountain side. — from Tales of the Wonder Club, Volume II by M. Y. Halidom
in liberâ custodiâ
Sir Walter Ralegh having been condemned of high treason at his Majesty's entrance into this kingdom; and for the space of fourteen years, by his Majesty's princely clemency and mercy, not only spared from his execution, but permitted [Pg 392] to live as in liberâ custodiâ in the Tower, and to enjoy his lands and living, till all was by law evicted from him upon another ground, and not by forfeiture—which notwithstanding his Majesty out of his abundant grace gave him a competent satisfaction for the same—at length he fell upon an enterprise of a golden mine in Guiana. — from Sir Walter Ralegh: A Biography by W. (William) Stebbing

That these were not mere cover-joints to conceal an irregular intersection of the masonry, as Choisy suggests, [162] would seem to be proved by the fact that the courses meet in a straight line at the ridge in by far the greater number of Anjou churches in which they are employed,—for example in La Couture at Le Mans (Fig. 20) , Airaines, [163] and numerous churches with small torus ribs, as well as by the fact that such ridge ribs are sometimes omitted even when the masonry is laid up in courses of equal width and therefore interpenetrating at the ridge, as in Avesnières {50} (Mayenne) — from Mediaeval Church Vaulting by Clarence Ward

This tab, called Hiding in Plain Sight,
shows you passages from notable books where your word is accidentally (or perhaps deliberately?)
spelled out by the first letters of consecutive words.
Why would you care to know such a thing? It's not entirely clear to us, either, but
it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
