Grew After Death.

Woodland Democrat: mitch"
Norton, who was for many years a well
known and popular newspaper writer in
Woodland, died five or six years ago
and was buried in Mary's Cemetery
north Of Yolo. 1t seems that he was
buried in the wrong lot by mistake.
Last Saturday the directors of the
cemetery association exhumed the
body and put it in the family lot be-
side Mrs. Norton's father. The coffin
was in a fair state Of preservation. but
the screws had rusted and the top was
loose. Now comes the strange part Of
the story. The recollection Of all those
who attended the funeral Is that Mr..
Norton's beard was very short. but
when the face Of the corpss was mo-
mentarily exposed last Saturday it was
observed that the whiskers had grown
until they were twelve orfourteen inch
es in length and there were many
streaks of gray In them.
Another strange circumstance was
that while the body had settled just as
it might be expected to shrink if re-
duced to ashes without being disturbed
1t had apparently LOST none Of it:
weight. Four men we're required tc
handle the coffin.
