Dear Peter,
Prof. Dr. Vinzenz Hilber's urn, he had been curator (Kustos) of the
geological department of the Landesmuseum Joanneum in Graz from 1892 -
(sorry, must check in my library in Judenburg and will give you additional
information soon), was kept in a hollow column bearing his portrait bust in
the respective gallery of the museum. His relatives would pay an annual
visit at All Souls' and burn candles for which reason they were finally
ordered to remove the urn.
I would be very grateful to learn about the final results of your survey.
Best wishes,
Fritz
