Right, Walter. Let me explain something. I tried for over an hour to locate the birthplace, or the place where Shirley Jackson, writer, was interred, and had no luck at all. Nor did I have with locating Somerset Maugham. I simply cannot understand it.

I know that, Walter. (surprised about Somerset). I just couldn't find the image on google of the gravesite or memorial.

Somerset Maugham died in Nice but he was cremated in St Pierre cemetery in Marseilles, France.
His ashes were remitted to the family.

That is not the point, Francis. I simply couldn't find the image that I wanted. Google keeps denying that they exist, somehow.
Ok, sorry to get side tracked. Let's continue with guessing my place

Another hint. The name of this lake is a very common last name.

That's the lake, George. You probably have no problem locating the area of Virginia now, right? Your turn, buddy.

Hello, Georgie,
I'll buy your lovely violets,
Hell, Georgie,
I'll buy your pencils, too.
Hello, Georgie,
Take off them dark rimmed glasses,
Hello, mother.
I knew it was you.
