A car came and he was killed instantly.

He is buried at Hillside Cemetery, and his headstone is carved in the shape of a dog, the one that was waiting.

That stone is the reason this entry exists and it does not need anything adding to it. A family who had lost a child chose to put on his grave the last thing he was walking towards.

No name is set down here. It is on the stone, and Plainwell is a small town.

What is reported at the cemetery follows from it, and the grave is visited by people who never knew him.

It is a public burial ground.
