LIVES IN wIFE's TOMB.
BrookIya Man Who Had Resided
with a Corpse for the Last
Five Years.

In Evergreen cemetery in brooklyn
Jonathan Reed has lived for five years
in the tomb where the body Of his dead
wife lies in last sleep. Never for one
day since his wife died in 1895 has he
.ef the body alone. and when his time
shall come there is receptacle for his
dead body close 20 that of his wife's.
whom he loved 50 long and 80 well.
says the Chicago Tribune.
Five years ago Reed looked on while
the light went out Of his wife's eyes.
She was conscious 10 the last. As She
lay with her dying eyes fixed on him "a,
Wa moved 10 a solemn promise that 80
long as he lived be would keep watch
over her form.
Her answer was 4 faint. peaceful
smile." said the husband. "aud You
Will see that l have kept my promise"
To do so. Mr.. Reed. who was well 20
do drayman IN the northern part OF Z ne
state. sold his business. he had a tomb
built Of red granite and made com fort
able for habitation o. both the living
and the dead. He gathered all his
I wife's trnkets together. and with them
has adorned the walls OF the strange
home. over the coffin OF the dead wom-
an he has draped a pail OF bright col
ors, and when he wishes 70 look on The
