pauper

Buried in an unmarked pauper's grave in Loughborough Cemetery, more than 300 miles away from his family home in Ayr, his body would lie there anonymously for another 120 years until some Notts County fans launched a campaign to "put right the wrong".

The adults in the graves are presumed to be what are known as "pauper’s burials", for individuals whose families could not afford to pay for a grave.

He kept a stash of money sewed into his ragged coat and conveniently escaped for a hot bath and a good meal while pretending to pass as a pauper.

For most of human history, identity was ascribed at birth: pauper, peasant, preacher, princess.

Dexter Wade was buried at the Hinds County Pauper’s Cemetery, but it was October before his mother was told about the burial.
