lots owned by yourself & daughter nos.

that is 865 sq feet, by your paying
the additional deposit required for
the perpetual care, provided you did

are not many lots under perpetual
care, you might take the lot without
any provision for the perpetual care,
but in justice to those who have
purchased on the Stone Farm and
on Halcyon Lake and the Fountain
Ave extension, to whom it has been
represented that no lots would be
sold without perpetual care, in
those portions of the Cemetery, no such
arrangement could be made there.

the fact that it is enclosed with
