Those Mysterious Remains Identified
Mr.. I. p. Wright went out last evening
view the mysterious remains which we
recently exhumed in the cemetery. He re
Ognized the remains as those of MIR. @. ]
Fillmore, brother of the late President Fill
more, who died in this city on the Goth
9th of July, 1854. Mr. Wright acted as ps
bearer at the funeral, and says the body w
buried in metallic coffin. Mr.. Stees' boo
show that he sold q metallic burial case
July 80. The funeral took place on Jul
28th or Doth. Mr.. Wright said that he b;
not visited the grave since the funeral, b
pointed in the direction of the grave al
said it was surrounded by large oak tree
In both of these particulars he was four
correct. Mr. Wright says that he is sat
fed of the identity of the remains-the ge
eral shape of the head and face, the color
the hair and the size and general appearan
of the burial case, all confirm him in
opinions. There cannot be any reasonat
doubt that the remains are those of Mr.. Fl
more.
