Should I die here, let me be buried in my own lot in the graveyard. Let the coffin be neat and comely, but plain and strong; made of cedar, or redwood, or of our own mountain pine; if of the latter, colored or stained, and tilaced in in nut r strong box, with a light cot.ton or woolen mattress or bed, and convenient pillow for the head. -- ' co-labor- .
