OUTPUT: ____, who had passed away about five years ago, and had written in answer to his questions as to where to be buried.

He had left it to me to find out if it would be proper. At the time of his passing I had never told the truth, but knowing I had a great respect for him and knew he would like to be buried in the family crypt I thought it right I should find out what the law and custom was. I wrote my letter to him and asked his permission. He signed it and he died
