AN OLD INHABITAc!T RESURRECEED
Among tue houaea destroyed by the tire ct
July IL WAS one on the northwest corner Of TaJ-
lor and State streets, the property OF Ar. Celia,
the Italian Consul. A few days ago this gcntlo-
man began tho work OF rebuilding, and gestet-
lay, while ono Of the contractors was making
some excavations ia the little yard in the rear OF
the site OF the old house, tie uorkmen, much to
their astonishment, cano across tombstone,
beneath which lay few bones, which, however,
OWING to the ttoueht!essn ess OF the men, wore
lost. Tho tombstone. which is Of marble, has
on it tho following inscription:
Abraul 4. 3Earic,
Died Nor. 30, 1S15,
Aged IL.
The resurrection Of this relic OF other dayB
caused considerable Bensatou among tho men.
and has as vet met with no satisfactory e1p1ana~
ton. Had it not been for the bones. it might
bavo been supposed that in the early days Of
Chicago some stoue-cuttcr had his yard on this
particular spot but, inasmucn rs the person
whose nAunc is carved on tho stone probably slept
under it until disturbed by the Aforesaid cellar
diegers, it is more likely that he was actually
buzied in his own backward, 1t q time
in the history OF Chicago when the corner OF
Taylor and State streets was outside the bounds
Of civilization. Il there arc any OF his aescena-
ants in the city, they will probably avail them
gulsr relic OF their ancestor. Although they
cannot nov find his bones, in order to remove
them to eousecrated earth, they can take to their
bones intact, or divide up among them, the
stoue which marked his last resting -place.
Mono Of tho old residents OF Chicago could
recollecs anything concerning Mr. Marke, or
conjecture how tho tombstone could have found
its way there. Mr. II. has faded ont entirely
from the memory Of mankind. The house was
an old brick one, which was bought by Mr.
Celia four years ago.
