unusual weight of the cofin, as 1t took
the combined strength of four men to

that the corpse had preserved the exict

had meanwhile undergone a strange and
complete change, beng transformed into
stone which was SO hard the instruments
used in handling the corpse did not make
any impression upon it. The body of
Russell's father, buried in the sama
place, which was also exhuned, shovel

where Russell was buried is a low, wet
