Cemetery Ceremony
When somebody decides to appropriate an old Olds ’55 and abandon it in the Coraopdlis Cemetery, the wheels of modern police detection commence to grind. There was no license plate on the caí.

Barrett, 2360 At-more St,, Pittsburgh 12, Pa, Contacted by phone, Mr, Barrett said* yes, lie owns the Olds ’55, hut had ‘eft it parked a week before at Bridge and Kramer, Sewickley. So how does ihe car get parked* in the Coraopolis Cemetery? Guess by Mr, Barrett! it was probably stolen from ^Bridge and Cramer*

The family was worried, about Robert and thought the country air and farm life- would help the hoy gain strength. Prior to buying the Heights farm, the McMaster family had lived in the downtown Pittsburgh, owning the ■block on Fifth Avenue where the Carnegie Building later was built.
