Family Plots

Family Plots

After my father died I came across paper work he’d kept regarding four cemetery plots he had purchased in November, 1959. He was always a stickler for record keeping - must have been the accountant in him, which he was.

He had put down a twenty-five dollar deposit and made twenty-five dollar monthly payments for the next two years. His final payment was submitted on October 31st, 1961 - Halloween.

And although he was an accountant by trade, he did have a great sense of humor, as well as an appreciation for irony no doubt.
