Benjamin Martin Cooley, 8 weeks old, was buried in a pauper's grave in Alexandria, VA., after his parents, who lived in a high-rise apartment in Washington's affluent west side, refused to claim the body. They reportedly made arrangements for the burial, but canceled them later when they claimed they couldn't afford a regular burial.
