  1. (continued from previous page)
    the woman answered and said "Yes." Then she stepped outside the door to the priest and the priest went in and served mass for him. When the mass was finished the priest spoke to him. He told him he was coming on that altar for fifty years and he could not get anyone to serve mass for him. He told him he was paid for a mass from a person and that he forgot to read it before he died. The person that the mass was paid for was in Purgatory and he would be relieved to Heaven when the mass would be said.
