From the will of John Julius Gause, signed May, 3, 1836:  
Item 9th, It is my request that my body should be placed in the vault with 
my two deceased wives until a new one can be built at the old family 
grounds on the Plantation let the residence of Samuel Gause, deceased 
Estate. Then, I request my Executors to have my own remains interred 
therein, those of my two wives.  Mr. & Mrs. Bruard’s, my children that are 
within the vault or interred in the old burying ground. 
This I enjoin on my Executors to have carried into effect immediately after 
my death. I direct that a sum be reserved from my estate, sufficient to build 
a family vault for the interment of my remains and that of my families as 
hereinafter directed.
