Pawling, N. Y, July 26.-No
stranger funeral ever occurred in
Dutchess county than was planned
for Mrs George S. Norton, wife of
we'll known contractor of this place,
who is to be buried in the Pswling
Cemetery Thursday afternoon at
2 o'clock in strict accord with her
singular dying fancies.
Workmen have been busy ell day
and expect to work the greater part
of the night to make the necessary
preparations, fer Mrs. Norton's body,
sitting in an old rocking chair, in
which she has spent the greater part
of the last three years, is to be in,
closed in handsome vanished box
of chestnut and lowered into kind
of well, especially constructed to
receive it. Then this strange coffin
will be locked and a heavy fagst0ne
will be cemented fast overthe open.
ing.
The walls of this tomb will be
bricked and cemented, and no earth
will be permitted to touch either the
body or the box, and after it is all
over Mr.. Norton will place the key
of the casket where it will never be
found, he says, but the precise dis
position of it he refuses to make
public.
Mrs. Norton, who was g. years
old, died from heart disease yester-
day. Her end was sudden, but came
as no surprise, for she had suffered
from her ailmsnt for several years,
and the dropsy accompanying it had
caused her body to swell to enor.
nous proportions, although when in
comparative health she weighed
more than 200 pounds.
The box will resemble to some ex-
tent the packing case Of an upright
piano, 1t will be thirty inches wide,
fifty inches long across the base, and
fifty-one inches high, these dimen-
sions being the result of a careful
measurement of the body as it sits
in the chair The exterior will not
be stained black, but will be finished
with Iight.eolored shellac varnisb,
according to Mrs. Norton's wishes
The inclined front will be hinged,
so that while her pastor, the Rev. s.
E. Mackey of the Methodist Episeo
pal church, is conducting the simple
service over the body in the parler
of the family home, the body will be
visible TO the friends who attend,
sitting as in life in the chair in which
she found her only comfort, At the
close the front will be shut up, and
then the whole case will be loaded
into one of MIR. Nortoa's business
wagons and driven to the grave by
one of his employees.
