	Daily Bible Study - What Happened To Tonto?
		Tonto was played by Jay Silverheels (he was born Harold J. Smith, but legally changed his name to his long-used "stage name" in the 1970s) who was born at an Indian reservation near Brantford, Ontario, about 30 miles from where I live.
		When he died in 1980, his body was cremated and the ashes were brought back from California and scattered over the Mohawk reservation where he was born.
		But it should be kept in mind that the bodies of those who are buried are also all eventually reduced to the indistinguishable earth elements from which man was created (see The Creation Of Man) - eventually, there is nothing left of their physical bodies.
