Edgar Allan Poe buried again and again


Baltimore has once again buried its most famous son, the writer Edgar Allan Poe. Only seven people attended his burial the first time 160 years ago. This time so many people wanted to attend that they conducted the service twice.

Is this an example of flogging a dead author?
