GypsIcs and Death

The custom of placing the property
OF the dead in their graves has always
been FOLLOWED by the true Ronany
gypsies, II Is due to some old tradition
OF Ill luck attending the possession OF
an article whose former owner is gone,
and much valuable property is buried
In this belief. There is also II senti-
ment among gypsies against Ii pos
session of anything that has belonged
to a dead person. because II serves TO
remind the living of the departed and
inspire in them II dread of death. The
custom of burying their property with
gypsy dead dates from the earliest his
tory of the ROmany tribes.
