Second Funeral Planned for Jim Gerhart in Burlington
Burlington Colorado reports Jim Gerhart 76, a retired farmer, will have a second funeral attended by a 68 piece Cleveland band. Gerhart spent about 15000 on last year’s service and plans to spend more of his 75000 fortune before death to deter relatives. The event shifts from June 1 to June 8 due to Bonneville Dam dedication and armory repairs. Rev S H Mahadey of Konorado Kansas will again deliver the sermon after receiving 100 fee and promise of 8000 inheritance last year.
