THIRTY YEARS UyBURIED.
Not Till the Mother Died Was tho Body Of
Her Son Interred.

Mr.. Edward Drane Of Nashville, Term,
who is at present in the city, told a most
remarkable story about a double funeral
which took place in Rock Island. Tenn,
while he was hunting In that section dur
Ing the Christmas holidays. All the
neighbors attended it, he said. and the af-
fair was the talk of the whole country.
The dead were an aged woman and her
son, and the strange feature Of the event
was that the son had been dead an d had
remained unburied for thirty years! Mr..
Drane says that the truth of this state
ment was vouched for by numerous peo-
pie, who claimed to have occa sionally
been treated 10 a sight of the body
during the period indicated
The story Is as strange a one as any
ever conceived by the fertile imagination
of novelist. 1t goes back TO- the civil
war, when the lady's son. a mere boy.
and a Confederate soldier. was killed
at Murfreesboro. He was an only son,
and the grief-stricken mother passion
ately declared that she could not and
would not part with her boy; she meant
TO keep him as long as she lived. and ha
should not be buried until death came
and claimed her also This was before
embalming was common. and so she had
him sealed In a cedar case. which was
made as nearly alright as was, practicable,
and was constructed with glass top to
allow a view OF the face. Sc. This. with
it's precious contents, she deposited In
the chamber, In a room assigned TO that
purpose. whittier she not infrequently
repaired to commune with the dead. Oc-
easionalIy friends OF the family were ad-
mitted to the apartment. II is said that
the body did not decay or purify, but
gradually became mumnified. Thirty
years it waited there-an uncanny occu-
pant. that gave the house queer reputa-
tion-but finally 1t was brought down and
was placed in the hearse beside the coffin
of the devoted mother. whose affection
had manifested itself so strangely. An
immense cortege accompanied the two to
the country churchyard, where the bodies
were deposited side by side in one grave.
