A Dead woman Gains 400 Pounds
IN Nine YenPs


The Saginaw (Michigan) Enterprise 70.
ports that while removing the bodies from
the old 10 the new cemetery, south Of Sagi-
nav City, the men engaged In the task Of
disinterriug came across O petrihed body.
1t was that Of female, and the inscription
on the headstone was, "Mary, wife Of j..
Maiden, died April 81, 1860, aged 80 years
/ month and 9 days" Bernard Rice, who
is experimenting the disinterripg and re-
moving Of the bodies, estimates the weight
of the body at 400 pounds. Mary Maiden,
of whom this petrifed body is the remains,
was well known In Saginaw City ten or
Ollie. Her husband was at one time keeper
Of the lighthouse at Thunder Bay, and Is
now living at Alpena. 1t Is said that she
died very suddenly ono day after eating a
hearty dinner. She was quite large wo-
man, Weighing perhaps 300 pounds.
Mr.. Lewis, through the Sdgina'Cidn, says
"The head has fallen from the body, and
the bones Of the neck at the point Of separa-
ton had the same appearance as those Of
other bones near by, known to be the re-
mains OF one buried about the same time.
OF the head, as we saw 1t, there was nothing
left but the bones. From the shoulders
were somewhat crumbled, the body retained
bowels there was slight depression, but the
wall Of the abdomen was full, and the limbs,
even to the break In the right leg near the
ankle, which occurred while the deceased
and her husband were keeping the light at
the mouth Of Saginaw river, were precisely
as they must have looked when she was laid
out for burial.
"The general appearance of the llmy de.
poslt by which this wonderful preservation
has been effected, is like that which often
accumulates In tea. kettles, and as 1t appears
In the interstlces of the clothing, and in the
soft parts Of the body, where there had been
slight abrasious, as In the left hip, was OF
about the same consistency. The chest and
breast were particularly full, and had at.
tanned a greater degree Of hardness than
any other portion Of the body"
This 10 decided to DO case Of adipoccre,
which is explained by the new American
Encyclopedias as follows "Adipocere is a
product Of the decomposition Of feshy mat
tiers. It bears a slight resemblance to sper-
maceti. 1t Is formed from bodies buried In
moist earth, and especially when these are
accumulated for years In great numbers.n
