VICKsBURa Commercial Our readers
will notice the death item of Mrs. Re-
beccca Smith, of Brady, in another
place. Nothing unusual was noticed
about her body until Henry +. Peet, the
undertaken In charge, went to her late
residerce on Wednesday with the cot
fin. On uncoverlng her face he noticed
sweat upon it, and inquired the cause.
The reply was that 1T was caused by
the fluid used as preservative or disin-
fectant." He wiped the sweat away,
and when they were placing her IN the
coffin he noticed the body was timber
and also saw sweat on the face again and
wiped it away. The funeral was held
here at the M. +. Church, conducted by
Rev. Mr. Steele, who saw sweat on her
face after the body was brought into
church, as did also the undertaken. The
sweating and limpness of the corpse was
n new thug to Mr.. Peet, who has had
ten years experience In the business of
undertaking, and he talked with Rev.
Steele about it. Both thought some
thing should be done about 1t, and at
the grave the coffin was opened, and
it il said the body was then warm,
whereas it should have been cold and
stiff. Mr. Peet called for a physician,
but on the declaration of the relatives
1.-TWO daughters and one son, all grown
that they had seen her die, the body
was buried, and no physician called. To
say the least this is IA singular case.
