Engineer Edward Johnston's request upon dying in prison was to be buried facing South, which was done, but 2 removals later his wishes were not done. 
**NEW**  His family's wish was finally achieved in that he was buried next to his wife in Bosco Bello Cemetery on 14 October 2002 and ceremony on 26 Oct. Congratulations and thank you to all who made this possible.
