“This shows the famous ‘Meriman Cemetery,’ where it is believed that the vast oil gushers are located, and for which a well-known oil company offered $1,000,000 for a lease in this cemetery, and which the Meriman Church congregation promptly refused for the reason that ‘the bodies in the graves would first have to be consulted for permission’ to be removed before they would consent to lease the ground where their departed members rest in peace.”
