    grave-yard.
    Local families still use certain grave-yards because they like to be buried where their fore-fathers lie.
    Long ago when a person was buried his friends would watch his grave in the night-time for about three weeks, for fear that a party of men called the “Sack-Them-Ups” would come and lift up the corpse and sell it to city hospitals, for the young students to practice on.
