Woman who bought coffin gains friends in Texas town
Emma Hawkins of Honey Grove bought a grey satin coffin after saving coins for years. She says she was told by the Lord to be prepared and hopes to live to 150. Strangers now visit her two room home as news of the coffin spreads. She has not yet chosen a burial place. Two girls and a horse escaped death in a Johannesburg storm. PhD programs are now offered in several areas including American civilization and chemistry.
