ANVIL MARKS HIS TOMB.
Blacksmith Fastens implements to
Marble and Awaits Death.

Thoughts of death or of the grave
do not Cypress John G. Angelo, a
blacksmith at Pocomoke City, eastern
shore of Maryland, who is hale and
hearty at the age of SO years. But,
realizing that the length of his years
cannot be much longer extended, he
has made provision for the disposal
OF his remains in a manner at once
unique and in accord with his trade.
With his own hands he has fashioned
= tomb. The most notable features
OF 1t are the anvil and hammer which
he used during his apprenticeship
and with which he has worked for
over sixty years.
The hammer and handle are riveted
to the anvil. which in turn is fastened
to marble base and set up at the
spot where he will rest after death.
