The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1886-12-02

Frank Adams, W hilom cores
pondent of the Sentinel, is contrl-
buting some very interesting arti,
cles to the Columbus Journal, dc
scriptivc OF mountaineer life i'll Ten
nessee.
The following paragraph, gives a
glimpse of mountain life-living OF
dead, we prefer our own Ohio:
As we were winding around and
up tho mountain the guide called
our attention to two men farther
above on the trail, who were car
rying a long box between them by
means of a pole run through n rope
tied around 1t. On inquiry we
learned they were 'toteiu" dead
person. Urging cur horses ahead
VIC soon overlook the lonely cor
tege.
The men proved to be father and
son, and the corpse, an only daugh-
ter and sister, who had died the
day before. They had come al-
ready seven miles, and still had nine
more TO go before reaching the
graveyard. Our paths separating,
the stricken father and son were
left alone with their sacred dead,
to pursue their journey unattended
by friend or minister. Our guide
assured us no grave would be dug
at the burial ground, the task de
volying upon those two lone men.
We leave the reader to draw his
Own conclusions.
