    THIS WAS HELD AT A METHODIST CHURCH(IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY!).

    AS RUTHERFORD DID THIS,SHOULD JWS DO SO AT A CHURCH?

    ONE OR TWO OF HIS RELATIVES,I BELIEVE LIVE LOCALLY.

    The coffin belonging to Joseph Franklin Rutherford is buried in a Methodist cemetery - Woodrow United Methodist Cemetery in Staten Isalnd (Richmond County) New York.

    But the coffin is empty, and not because of any paranormal transfigurations.

    It is empty because "The Judge" asked his lackies to bury him on the grounds of Beth Sarim/ Beth Shan in San Diego, California. There are two possible locations where his body might be found one is a hastily dug hole not far from the residence on a slope, the second is under the concrete floor of the garage, which had fresh concrete aplied not too long after Joe went to his "reward" in the bowels of the earth.

    Badboy, are you saying JFR has relatives in England? He was born and raised in Missouri, USA.

    I BELIEVE THAT THE AREA IN MISSOURI HE CAME FROM,THERE IS A POSSIBLE LIVING RELATIVE IN THE AREA HE CAME FROM.

    PERHAPS IT WOULD BE PRESUMPIOUS TO PUBLISH THIS PERSON NAME.

    I DO WONDER IF RELATIVES MIGHT HAVE GOOD STORIES TO TELL ABOUT HIM.

    OF COURSE HEY MIGHT NOT WANT TO BE CONTACTED ETC.

    Thanks.

    Her name was Leonora Rutherford (nee Strickland). She died on 9th October 1926.

    I've posted Judge Rutherford's Death Certificate here... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/136955/1.ashx

    It might help for various things.

    I was trying to track down some press coverage of her funeral and bumped into his cert.
