"this is Leo Deulen letter Aug. 31, 1964
Dear Boy's. You know I am getting old and have had two heart attacks so you all know what that means. I may not live long so this is what I want you Boy's to do.
I want you Boy's to pick my casket and vault and you Girls and Boys pick my dress. And fix my hair like it is fixed in that picture with Mattie and I.
I want the Calvary Bible Church quire (sic) to sing the songs I have picked out and the Pastor to preach my funeral from St John's chapter 3th read from the 10th verse to the 28th verse. Songs Preceous Lead Me Home. Oh think of the home over there. you all can pick one Charley and I joined the Christian Church at jamesville November 4, 1914 Rev Wade Moore Baptized us at the mouth of Finley and james River.
I want the Boys and their Family to sit with me.
Leon has seven hundred dollars of my money that will help pay on my burral (sic).

Signed by you Loving Mother
