Joe Cain has been dead for 120 years, but that will not stop Sue Ellen from claiming she was her beloved’s favorite.

Zelda Cain will fire back, claiming she was the true apple in Joe’s eye. Others will join in on the arguing with claims they carried Cain’s fondness more than the others. There is Scarlett, Emmy Lou, Isabelle, Savannah – pick your favorite? They all look the same — who will weep and bicker together in a moment of dysfunctional sisterhood. And the 20 women, all who claim to be Cain’s true Widow, will reunite for a 50th time on Sunday at the Church Street Graveyard for a Carnival tradition that can be safely described as unique only to Mobile.
