Changed Not in the Grave
Chadron, Neb. March 9
Four years ago two brothers in Dawson county died and were
buried on the table land near Chadron.
About the holidays an administrator
of the estate of the two brothers came here, had the bodies taken up and sent to
the old home in South Dakota. When they were unearthed the caskets were
neither rotted or molded and had hardly lost their polish. The bodies
were almost as natural as the day they were buried and the hair was as perfect as
if just combed. The burial robes were not injured, and all showed that the
moisture of rain and snow fall had not penetrated the earth the depth of the
grave.
