    disease and it was in this grave - yard that they used to be buried.
    It is said that there used to be a special man to bury the people. This man would be also afraid of getting this disease. Before he would bury the people he would get medicine from the doctor which would keep him from getting the disease. He would be also paid by the Government for burying the people. If this man happened to die with the disease another man would take his place.
