3rd January 2003, I attended the funeral rite of the old man called Bondet 'Sweet' Petro in lower Kaptanya area. The late was over 100 years. There were more than 150 guests, many children and grandchildren, clansmen and relatives including the LC5 chair person Mr. Chelimo in that time. Young men of family members of the late dug the grave girls and young lady sang gospels with reverend (a man with parasol) supervision. This kind of death of very old man is not necessarily sad occasion; people call it "sweet death".
