DIR. Yarbrough to write as he
dictated, he then told whom to
notify when he was dead; told
of some business matters in
which he was interested In Ard
more and elewhere; directed
how he should be dressed after
death-to procure a casket neat
but use no extravaganza In its
purchase and requested that

This done he calmly awaited
death.
