    (continued from previous page)
    of the corpse that night and the day of his burial there were shots fired over his grave as a token that he died in the firing line.
    He was very healthy and strong, but always complained of heart failure which was the cause of his sudden death.
    In this mountain there is an iron cross erected in remembrence of him.
    Im sure in time to come they will improve on it and put a head stone there.
    Great numbers of people have gone to see this cross since from far and near and have said a prayer for his poor.
    This will be remembered for many years to come.
