Husband's, Wife's Gravestones Go Viral as People Notice Shocking Difference
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Two tombstones have gone viral on Reddit after users noticed a striking difference between the way a husband and wife were memorialized. The post, shared by Reddit user u/teragram333, showed the graves of James Delmage Ross and his wife, Alice Maud Ross. The tribute to the man read: "James Delmage Ross 'J.D.' Ross one of the greatest Americans of our generation was an outstanding mathematician and an equally great engineer. "He had also the practical ability to make things work in the sphere of public opinion and successful business; more than that he was a philosopher and a love and student of trees and flowers. His successful career and especially his long service in behalf of the public interest are worthy of study by every American boy." Ross was born November 9, 1872 and died March 14, 1939. His wife's headstone, by contrast, read: "Alice Maud Ross. Devoted and Loving wife to 'J.D.'" Carla Harvey, a grief specialist at Parting Stone, told Newsweek that this kind of erasure reflects a long history of everyday sexism in death care, but it also mirrors how women are treated in everyday life. Too often, Harvey said, women are remembered only for the roles they played in service to others, while their own passions, achievements, and identities go unacknowledged. "When I visit with female hospice patients, their eyes light up when I ask about their careers, hobbies, or dreams, and I often wonder how long it's been since anyone cared enough to ask," Harvey said. "Many women gave up so much for their families, and yet their personal stories fade into the background." While undeniably an issue of sexism, Harvey added, it also speaks to a broader cultural habit of alienating the elderly and failing to engage with them in meaningful conversation. "We live in a time when people broadcast their every move on social media, yet we don't always take the time to ask the older women in our lives what set their souls on fire," Harvey said. "Imagine discovering that your grandmother was once a painter, a dancer, or an educator and realizing you'd never known." For Harvey, memorialization should start with honoring the whole person—not just their relationships. "Every life deserves to be remembered as the complex, multifaceted story it truly was," she said.

"She did nothing of particular note in her entire life other than marry this guy," said one user. "Every month I get a mortgage statement, and every single time it's addressed to 'Mr. and Mrs. [Husband's first name] last name'. "MINE IS THE ONLY NAME ON THE EFFING MORTGAGE!! The money comes from my bank account, not shared. He's not even a cosigner! The only place his name in that entire bank institution is as a beneficiary in case I drop dead before he does. "But for some godforsaken reason, they still put his name on the mortgage statements, and nothing I've done in the last 3 years has changed that," posted another user. A third wrote: "My boyfriend and I have a shared account for vacation money. My regular bank account is at the same bank. Almost every time I go to cash a check or whatever, even if I give the bank account number, they put MY MONEY in either the shared account or his. And then when I go back to say hey you did this wrong they just shrug and say they assumed it was 'my husband's money.'" "My name is the only one on the mortgage, and to make it even more fun, it's in my maiden name. The bank asked if I wanted to change it, I said this is fine. Lol [laugh out loud] my husband doesn't care though," shared another user. Newsweek reached out to u/teragram333 for comment via Reddit. We could not verify the details of the case.

19 Of The Biggest Historical Lies People Somehow Still Believe Despite All Evidence To The Contrary
Recently, a post from Reddit user Repulsive-Finger-954 on the popular Ask Reddit forum caught my eye. In it, they asked people, "What is the biggest historical lie that many people believe?" and the answers were both entertaining and informative. I decided I had to share; so, here are some of the best: 1."Vikings didn't wear horned helmets." —u/blodyn__tatws 2."People believe that Napoleon was this abnormally short man. He was 5'6, which was pretty average back then. I'm pretty sure it was this smear campaign of sorts that painted him as this weirdly short, unpowerful guy." —u/Financial_Island2353 3."George Washington's dentures were not made of wood, but rather a combination of teeth from slaves, ivory (hippopotamus, walrus and/or elephant), animal teeth, and metals." —u/jguacmann1 4."While Paul Revere is often credited with being the sole rider to warn the colonies of the British, he was actually one of five riders who alerted colonists on the night of April 18. Revere's mission relied on secrecy, and he didn't shout 'The British are coming!' as the phrase would have been confusing to locals who still considered themselves British. Instead, Revere's network of riders, signal guns, and church bells effectively spread the alarm." —u/gmoney-0725 believe that the Nazis were hated and opposed for their treatment of Jewish people from the beginning. There has been plenty of narrative building through the years around the idea that the Allies were seeking justice for the Jewish people from the start. It was only when we witnessed the extent of the Holocaust that the villainy of the Nazis became more widely recognized and acknowledged." "Antisemitism was very common in the West prior to WWII, and the Holocaust got that far in part because nobody wanted to house Jewish refugees." —u/Some_Number_8516 6."The idea that people used to believe the world was flat. In elementary school, I was taught that no one wanted to fund Columbus's voyage because they thought he'd just sail off the end of the world. Utter nonsense." "Since at least Ancient Greece, it was believed the world was a sphere. I mean, you look up at the sky at night, and see nothing but other round bodies, it makes sense you'd assume that you're on a round body as well." —u/postXhumanity "Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth and was only about 3% off. Roughly 250 years before the birth of Christ, he did this. Truly remarkable." —u/postXhumanity 7."People believe that Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb. He did not. Several other men pioneered it before him." —u/Commercial-Camera189 8."People believe that women stayed home and only men worked. For the poor, which was the vast majority of people throughout history, everybody who could work worked, even the kids. If you didn't, the whole family would starve and die." "You were working your own land, working your lord's land, working as itinerant laborers. If you weren't doing physical work, you were cooking and you were spinning, constantly spinning, and weaving and sewing. Constant work. Women worked down mines, worked as servants, and they were working in factories as soon as there were even proto-factories. Wealthy women also worked. They ran the households; for a wealthy family, this could be 100 people she was in charge of. She oversaw organizing supplies, ensuring that food was cooked, that they had accommodations, and food stores; she made the medicines and tended the ill. Women have always worked. How the hell do people think men could confidently ride off to war and know that everything was being looked after while they were away fighting for years on end?" —u/wwaxwork 9."People believe that the US Civil War was over states' rights." —u/SpiDeeWebb "I mean, it was. It was over states' rights to allow their residents to own people as property. But I totally get where you're coming from." —u/fourtoedfist 10."People believe that MLK was socially acceptable to white people during the 1960s, and not in favor of radically changing the socioeconomic order of the US. He was a socialist who was widely reviled by the white culture of the time. He's been re-imagined by white people as someone willing to accept slow electoral solutions to racial problems." —u/Cute_Win_386 11."Many people still believe that Marie Antoinette said, 'Let them eat cake.'" —u/Unhappy-Jaguar-9362 12."The myth that there ever was a famine in Ireland. It was a genocide, and the English were exporting enough meat and grain from Ireland to feed three times the Irish population." —u/Cupofteaanyone 13."People in ancient and medieval times lived past 30 or 40 on a regular basis. The 'life expectancy' was low due to child mortality." —u/SerSkippa22 "Infant mortality brought the mathematical average for life expectancy down. It's usually thought today that in the past, if you DID make it past 10, you had as much chance of living to a ripe old age as anyone today." —u/silliasaurus 14."The idea that Galileo was imprisoned because of the heliocentric model. Nope, it was because he pissed off the pope, who was funding his research." —u/DoubleDimension "Galileo didn't follow the steps that were required to declare the heliocentric model as valid; he got angry and started talking shit about the pope. The heliocentric model wasn't his idea; many people way before him were talking about the heliocentric model, and none of them were imprisoned because of it." —u/ProteinPapi777 15."There is a myth that the US has never experienced an authoritarian government. In actuality, a large portion of its history has been authoritarian. The Jim Crow South was an authoritarian government that existed until 1964." "It wasn't until fairly recently that constitutional rights were 'incorporated' to apply to state laws. For a large portion of our history, the Constitution applied to federal laws. State government restricted behavior on a very wide basis: interracial marriage, homosexuality, birth control, pornography, anything deemed offensive, offensive comedy, etc. were all regulated or illegal." —u/dowbrewer 16."The myth that carrots give you good eyesight. That lie came from Britain during WWII to hide the fact that they had a new technology called radar." —u/cha0sdan 17."The idea that Catherine of Aragon failed Henry VIII because she didn't have a son and heir. She and Henry had — at least — three sons." Robert Alexander / Getty Images, Eric Vandeville / Getty Images —u/No_Thought_1492 18."That Samurai despised guns and saw them as 'dishonorable tools.'" "The Samurai as a class not only were the first to embrace gunpowder weaponry in Japanese history, but Japan as a whole developed its own domestic industry surrounding gunpowder weapons, including many original designs and tactics that not even Europe would have an equivalent to until decades later." —u/AlikeWolf finally: "That nothing much happened in the 'Dark Ages.'" —u/callmeKiKi1 What are your thoughts?
