Considering the character of my Grandfather Price, a Baptist Preacher, I suspect his response would be: They are buried in holy ground; let them be honored as thier supporters wish. He would not have barred anyone with honest intentions, simply because he didn't agree with them. He stood on principle. I remember once when I was a small boy that a couple knocked on his door in the wee hours of the morning, wanting him to marry them. After discussing their circumstances, he felt they were acting without truly thinking through the situation they were in. He counseled them about the matter (I of course do not know what was said) and refused to marry them until they had resolved whatever it was that concerned him. So far as I know, they never came back. Stan
