BANGOR CHURCHYARD [LETTER-ADVERTISEMENT]
The following startling advertisement and letter has been sent to us. The least we can say is
that it is very curious and certainly requires an explanation:-
'To the Editor of the Ecclesiastical Gazette.
CURIOUS ADVERTISEMENT
'Sir - The enclosed advertisement, which has appeared for several days past in the
'Belfast News-Letter' shows the estimation in which County Down people hold the ashes of
their dead relatives; it shows, too, the way in which Church interests and Church property
are cared for and conserved in this part of the country by those into hands such interests
and property are temporarily entrusted; yet experiences teaches that, because this is a
robbery of the Church, your nominally Church paper will do nothing to expose and stop this
dishonorable sale:_
"NOTICE - TWO GRAVES AND HEADSTONE FOR SALE in Bangor Churchyard -
Apply to Wm. HANNA, Bangor" - Yours faithfully J.G. BURTON
