Charles DePauw,. Second Burial.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SALEM, Ind. April 23.-Mr. w. D.. Keyes,
of New Albany, arrived in this city last
night with the remains of Charles DePauw,
who died at Columbus. Ind, Oct. J. 1928. Mr..
Reyes is a granddaughter of the deceased,
and had the remains exhumed at Columbus
yesterday, and to-day they were laid to
rest in the DePauw family lot in Crown
Hill Cemetery, by the side of the brothers
of deceased. Charles DePauw was the
youngest of five brothers, Peter, James,
John and Napoleon Bonaparte. From re-
ligious persecution, they being Huguenots,
the family was driven from France, and
came to America, and in time Charles set
tied at Columbus, married there in 1922 and
died one year after. He was buried in the
private burying ground near Columbus. Ma
poleon Bonaparte DePauw, before his death,
put up tombstones over all the graves of
his brothers. They were all similarly built,
with a large marble slab covering. This
one of Charles DePauw was originally about
eighteen inches high, but when discovered
about a week ago 1t was twelve inches be-
low the surface. The bones were found in
a perfect state of preservation. Charles DE
Paw was an uncle of the late Washington
c.. DePauw, and there are many relatives
of deceased in this part of Indiana.

Here's n Kinship Puzzle.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., April 23.-Two
marriages were in this city
to-day which will cause a strange complica-
ton of relations. The contracting parties
were Edward l.. Weber and Miss Sadie L..
Dietrich, and Scott Dietrich and Mrs. Lily
Partlow. The fact that Scott Dietrich is
the father OF Mrs. Weber and that her
newly made husband is a brother of her
fathers BRIDE, Mrs. Dietrich, nee Partlow,
will make Mr.. Dietrich the brother-in-law
as well as the father-in-law of Weber, while
he will also be his daughters brother-in-
and mother-in-law to Weber, while being
mother and sister-in-law to her sons wife.
The unusual relations into which the as
Stunning of the marriage vows has entangled
