Placed to Rest Upon Authoritative State
nents.
For the past two or three weeks
there has been a rumOr atioat to the
effect that q. j. Lewis was alive and
had been seen in New York, that the
funeral had been only a mock affair
performed simply for the purpose of
binding the public and obtaining the
life insurance money of sec, 900 through
the private services of a Chicago I'M
dertaker. The rumor was so thor
Oughly idiotic that it is beyond all
comprehension how intelligent people
could have given it the least credence.
But Notwithstanding this it was circu-
lated and is persstently being talked
about. Simply to set the matter at
rest this paper has looked up few of
the main points of the matter. In the
first place the man is dead beyond all
question. At least fifty of our best
people were at the funeral and saw the
remains in the open casket. Thomas
Hansen was the undertaken and had
complete charge of every detail con-
nected with the funeral. AS to the
insurance there were but two policies,
one of $5,672 to the widow and one of
$1,000 divided among the three chill
dren; all of which were paid immedi-
ately after the death.
