Whiskey Bottle Gravestone. Clayton, Alabama - Whiskey Bottle Tombstone

I heard the story behind the Whiskey Bottle Tombstone of William T. Mullen, exactly as you describe it. I took a photo when we visited it in 2002, in a small cemetery in Clayton, just outside of Eufaula. [Dick Cain, 04/05/2008]

Clayton, Alabama - Whiskey Bottle Tombstone

An unusual granite sculpture marks the Clayton Cemetery burial spot of William T. Mullen, who died in 1863. The tale behind the whiskey bottle-shaped gravestone is that Mullen's wife followed through on a threat of posthumous humiliation if he didn't stop drinking. He didn't.
