Legends included elements such as someone entering into the state of sopor or coma, only to wake up years later and die a horrible death. Other legends tell of coffins opened to find a corpse with a long beard or corpses with the hands raised and palms turned upward. Of note is a legend about the premature burial of Ann Hill Carter Lee, the wife of Henry Lee III. On _his_ deathbed in 1799, George Washington made his attendants promise not to bury him for two days. <sep>, Pronoun: his <sep>, A: Henry Lee III <sep>, B: George Washington
