Now now, don't enrage the Americans with logic. Everyone knows the Angles were Germans who moved to America to provide beer for the early settlers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angles_(tribe)
I'm American and unafraid of logic. In fact it makes perfect sense to me to believe that the Angles were a good source for beer for early settlers.
In fact it probably explains the inscription on an old headstone that many considered to be a misspelling - "Gone to be an angle".
In this context I think the inscription fits perfectly for a poor soul who passed on to a better life where they expected to be able to find lots of beer after having spent their mortal life as a teetotaling Christian. If anyone asked about the spelling "error", their relatives could all claim it was misspelled while never revealing the truth that the departed really just wanted to enjoy a cold one after they had become a cold one.
