actually last? Then delve deeper into each of
the different customs and explore how they
came about, what evolved over time, and which
are still actively used today (hint – more of
the customs are commonly used today than
you think). Was mourning the same for the
North as it was for the South? Was a wealthy
family more apt to ‘showcase’ the death than
a modest family? Who gained the most from
a death, who suffered the most? Were the
customs gender-specific, where did the words
‘wake’ and ‘widow’s weeds’ come from? How
long did one stay in mourning? These and
many other questions will be addressed. There
will also be a display of personal mementos,

what made their employees become sick and
die. It took legal action and governmental
intervention to end the death toll and to force
the companies to take responsibility. Nearly a
century later, the scar that stretched across
the peaceful history of this small Illinois town
continues to be exposed, as more areas of
contaminated soil are being excavated. The
community has come to terms with what
happened and recognized those girls and their
families that suffered through this dark time
by erecting a statue to a “radium dial girl,”
paying tribute to those dial painters and their
work with radium. Books are currently on sale
