Description

Story shared by a family member at the cemetery.... "James Morgan McInelly - had his right leg amputated just below the knee because of gangrene in his foot. He asked the hospital if he could have the leg. He brought it home & supervised his grandson to build a small wood coffin for it, got the mortuary to make up one of the metal military markers & got permission to bury it at the foot his cemetery plot between 2 of his deceased children to be sure his leg is him in the resurrection."
