Genre 2: Obituary: "Poor Lake"

"Even in the midst of our distress, utter bewilderment, and soul-clutching horror, we scarcely went beyond the truth in any specific instance. The tremendous significance lies in what we dared not tell; what I would not tell now but for the need of warning others off from nameless terrors" (Lovecraft 745).

In memory of Prof. Lake:
August 18, 1894 - January 24th, 1931, age 37

Proffesor Lake of the Miskatonic University Biology Department passed last month while abroad on the groundbreaking Miskatonic expedition to the Antarctic, due to tragic environmental conditions. He will be remembered as a devoted and brilliant scientist on the verge of many new discoveries in paleontology, who also never let work get in the way of his family. He is survived by a wife and son. Memorial service to be held at St. John's Episcopal church this Sunday at 2:30 pm.
