WHAT IS YOUR
QUESTION
Dying—Death—Estate Planning
A. J. WOLFE
Dear Mr. Wolfe;
My sister's grave is unmarked. Her husband hasn’t
put a tombstone down and says he doesn’t want us to
either. He says he paid for the space and it’s his. Is tha
true? Can he keep us from marking her grave? Legally?
What would happen if we did anyway? If we had one
put down could he take it up?
Black General Wants More Youth In System Concerned brother and sister
GREENSBORO -- A
black Air Force general,
who believes in working
within the system, is
seeking more ways to get
young blacks involved in
the military.
“Despite faults of our
system," said Brig. Gen.
William E. Brown, “there
is no other that works any
better, and our military
system is exceptionally
strong.”
Brown is one of just five
black generals in the U.S.
Air Force. He was in the
area over the weekend to
participate in the annual
Army/Air Force ROTC
banquet and ball of A&T
State University.
He addressed the cadets
and their guests at the Top
of the Mart in High Point,
and told them not to be
afraid to seek new
challenges. “Education is
never complete,’’ he said.
“and there are enormous
opportunities wherever you
In an interview. Brown,
who commands the 1st
Composite Wing at An
drews Air Force Base in
Washington, said one of his
concerns is to increase the
number of blacks.
“Right now, minorities
are washing out in flight
school at twice the rate of
the white candidates,” said
Brown. He said the
washout rate for white
candidates is about 25 per
cent.
“That’s why I am glad
they have assigned to me a
training command,” he
added, “so I c»n become
involved in this problem.”
Brown is a distinguished
pilot himself, having flown
125 combat missions over
Korea and 100 combat
missions in Southeast Asia.

Dear Concerned:
Your brother-in-law is next of kin and legally his
jurisdiction. If he selected to he can prevent you from
putting a marker on the grave and can have it removed
if you did so against his will.
He has the deed for the property which gives him
burial rights and control of what is done with it. That of
course would be within the jurisdiction of the by-laws of
the cemetery.
Dear Mr. Wolfe:
What can I do to get our cemetery in better
condition? It looks awful. I thought a cemetery was
supposed to have some money set aside to assure
property pwners that it would be kept looking nice.
Joe
Dear Joe:
If your cemetery is chartered by the state as a
“perpetual care” cemetery your first recourse is to
write to the cemetery commission in Raleigh. If that
does not help, I would suggest that the property owners
form a committee and pursue the legal possibilities.
