Deanna Maly, age 13, of Enid, Okla., for her question:

WHERE WAS COLUMBUS BURIED?

Sad to say, Columbus who did so much for the world lived his painful last days ignored and disgraced. He died on May 20, 1506, at a place called Valladolid, north of Madrid. He was buried there but later his remains were moved several times to more honored resting places. In 1542, his body was taken across the Atlantic to the cathedral of Santo Domingo. Later it was moved again to the cathedral of Ciudad Trujillo. In the 1940s, the Dominican Republic suggested plans to build a great lighthouse as a final resting place for the Great Mariner.
