Long Description:Will Cuppy was born and raised in Auburn, Indiana. He wrote the
book "the Rise and fall of nearly everyone" among other
things.
Cuppy's last years were marked by poor physical health and
increasing depression. Facing eviction from his apartment, he took
an overdose of sleeping pills and died ten days later on September
19, 1949, at St. Vincent's Hospital.[14]
Cuppy's cremated remains were returned to his hometown and
buried in a grave next to his mother's in Evergreen Cemetery. His
grave was unmarked until 1985, when local donors purchased a
granite headstone with the inscription, "American Humorist". In
2003, Cuppy received another memorial when a committee of the
International Astronomical Union approved the name "15017 Cuppy"
for an asteroid.
