Campus Crusade for Cthulhu: Famous Persons of Arkham 31

In Spring of 1952, Charles P. Goodwin and Harold Joist fought a duel over a local lady.
Under the Arkham Code Duello, one blade was poisoned. In this case an error was made and both blades were lethally tipped.
Neither combatant survived.

Alois Grimm was a talented fiddler who played for many dances and parties in Arkham.
He played only traditional tunes, but one evening a sinister classical violinist challenged him to play "The Flight of The Bumblebee."
Alois managed it, but needed the services of a podiatrist afterwards.

Cora Dowdy was certain that she was being stalked by dark, man-like creatures from the drainpipes.
She was apparently right, because one morning as she was having her bath she was pulled thru the drainplug and never seen again.

Ralston Wigwag's famous giant fighting cock, El Pollo del Muerte. He was never defeated until some joker glued feathers on a Rottweiler.

"Granny" Gummitch and "Ralph" were faithful companions for many years. Ralph was very good for keeping the neighborhood clear of toy poodles and insurance salesmen.
After Ralph died, Granny had him made into an umbrella stand.

The Ruritanian Families who settled in Arkham in 1914 were a welcome addition to our town, bringing with them much esoteric knowledge from Central Europe.
Their peculiar rites, and their traditional foods, soon were an accepted part of life here.

The Rev. James T. Wilkersham, of the Methodist Church of Boston, whose discovery and translation of the pictographs in the Arkham Ice Cave caused him to go insane.

Author and recluse, Regira Dowdy wrote many children's books and stories.
While her books were banned in Boston, New York and San Francisco as being "too gruesome," they remain popular as light humor for youngsters here in Arkham.

The War Between the States did not catch Arkham unprepared. The 1st Arkham Volunteer Regiment served with distinction in many battles, and spread the Bad News of Cthulhu all over the Eastern Seaboard.

To look at lovely Jennifer Brasswig one would never think that this girl would grow up to be the famous composer of such popular songs as "His Tentacles Embrace Me" and "The Arkham Quadrille."
When she retired, she took up the collecting of ears from well-known theatrical agents and song publishers, finding it, in her words, "Very emotionally satisfying."

Our State Senator from Arkham, the Honorable Lyle Quincy Ralphstone, in formal dress in 1898. He did much for the Miskatonic community, and is still remembered fondly.
His statue in the town square depicts him in his favorite organdy ball gown.

Marynell Tripe founded the Arkham Curiosa Shop in 1771, selling herbs, exotic medicines, preserved animal parts, spell-books and other exotica.
The shop is still open, and is owned and operated by her descendant, Wysteria Tripe-Haddock. It is admittedly the oldest occult shop in North America, and displays items that other shops do not dare to stock.
