I finally received some facts about the "hole" issue, of plots in Marion.

There is a registry at the cemetery confirming that we have 14 plots left of the original 16. No record is kept at the Summit County office. (I asked them if the records were buried in some file)  They are under the name of Edward L Howard. I told them (Ronie Wilde@allwest.net) (Rick Gines, Sextan) that the family wanted to not sell. If we out live the above, the registry will be passed on to their replacements. If you need one of the plots, simple call the funeral service (example: Crandall - Scott at 435-783-4786) and they will verify the registry...so no problem...we are in. For your interest... if you are considering cremation...hang on to the urn if you'd like for as long as you want for convenience sake (of travel or for any other reason) then call Crandall. Marion cemetery allows only one urn per plot.

Nathan,

Thank you for rooting out these long buried files.  It is clear that your many years in the gravel pits have grounded you in foundational research skills.  When the plot thickens and I need a long rest, I will call Crandall who will plant me Scott-free.  My accountant will be pleased.

Agradecimientos from the Howard who never could get into anything concrete (except at the Marion Cemetery).
 

P.S. to my kids: If you don't know the prerequisite to inheriting one of these paid for plots, let me know (but keep in mind that Edward L. Howard has more than 14 descendants - first come, first served).

Roy,

you havent lost your literally skill, nor your Lambert humor.

I dont think your kids will have to worry about space...they don't bury folks in the Millenium

Nathan

Nathan,

The Millenium is coming soon?  Then I won't have to lie still too long?

Pioneer cemeteries are for insiders and mainstreamers, not outliers; but I understand why they don't like to stack the bodies: it is bad enough being surrounded by liers, you don't need backbiters, too.

It is nice to have all these relatives in one plot - potential suitors can visit and get a sense of what kind of family they are Marion into.  Besides, not every bachelor is the Marion kind.  Anyway, the Lamberts are well-bread; they should rise well.

What I wonder, is which of our ancestors noticed how we gather at the cemeteries and dig in the earth, and saw us as their "descend ants"?  I guess it makes sense.  However, the latinos must have been poor. Can you imagine digging and finding just teeth, because they could not afford embalming and concrete crypts? So that must be why they call us their "descen dientes".

For all of you looking forward to a career (or a job), don't discount the mortuaries and cemeteries - people are dying to receive your services.  Imagine, 6,964,855,039 people on the earth, and growing, every one a future customer! I wonder about the sales pitch: "...all you future stiffs gather 'round.  You can't stay ceased, you know; soon you will be deceased; all of you functs will soon be defuncts, the mised will be demised, the parted will be departed, the animate will be inanimate and the sensate will be insensate.  Bloom where you are planted, but choose now to be planted in the right location... a great location with a view, that is how you want to spend eternity, with your friends and family all around and above and beneath you. Discounts for mass burials, family unit cremations, and cash payments in advance!...  

If you dig it, go with the flow.

So far, 100 billion have died on this planet.  Thanks to Jesus Christ, all will live again.  Thanks to you temple attenders, many won't have to wait so long to qualify for the best that the next life has to offer.  Plan for the future, anchored in an understanding of the past.

Roy E. Howard
