Lincoln Immortelles

[L Verge]

George Washington left notice to make hair rings (I think) to distribute among several of his contemporaries.

For some reason the thing I remember the most about George Washington's wishes were these instructions:

"Have me decently buried; and do not let my body be put into the vault in less than three days after I am dead."

Just to make sure that he was really dead, I assume. Remember a previous posting here about Gen. Lee's mother's premature burial?
