    1. [TNANDERS] Burial Traditions
    2. Judy Thank you for the story on the Christopher family. Cousin Marion told me that Earl was alive but that was a few years ago. He would be in his upper 80's or 90's by now if he was still living. I just looked on the Social Security Death index and there is a EARL CHRISTOPHER b:8-4-1913 died 12-9-2003. I just bet that is him. He was listed as 6 years old in 1920 census. I remember Uncle Garnett wearing overalls all the time too. But most did (S) When my husband died 1997, he was an avid fisherman and was well know in this area. He fished in many tournaments and won some. People always saw him with blue jeans, fishing jacket and he always wore a hat (baseball type). He only wore his suits to weddings and funerals. So when he died I took his favorite clothes for him to be buried in. I did not get the traditional spray of roses. I ordered spring flowers and had the florist to put 3 plastic fish among them. They were ugly fish...but if you had known Bob you would have known that he would have loved it..
