   My Grandmother told me a story about a man that used drink and he [?] used to go through a grave yard and he used to come home drunk every night. There was a grave dug and his wife got a man to go and go down into the grae and say when he is passing "I cant rest" and the drunken man went over [?] to where he heard the and he said how can you rest when you are not covered. He started to run as quickly as he could and the man that was in the grave disappeared.
   Date of occurrence 1928.
