every cent you have paid during
the twenty years, with over
per cent. compound interest,

your family would get the full

handsome monuments have been order
ed to be placed over their graves at that

John Lewis died in 1880 and Charles
was killed during the war. The body
of the former had decayed until nothing
was left but the skeleton, and
this dropped to pieces as soon as it was
touched. That of the latter, who was
buried in his uniform, with q military

better state of preservation.
The coffin had rotted completely
away, but the uniform and blanket re-
manned intact. The roots of tree had
become woven in the blanket, forming
perfect stitches. They were pressed
very tightly around the body, and
formed a perfect shape Of coffin.
