Funeral of the Largest Man of Central
Missouri.

Mexico, Mo-, July Funeral serv
ices over the remains of Thomas
Board, the largest man in this sec.
tion of Missouri, were conducted
from the late residence in this city
this morning. Members OF the fam.
lily to-day announced. the exact
weight OF Mr.. Board to have been
! 497 pounds few days before he was
taken sick.
A special casket was ordered, in
which the remains were buried, and
it was necessary to carry the corpse
from the house to the yard to place
it in the coffin. To remove the body
from the house it was found neces-
sary to take out the casing from a
double window. 1t required the serv-
ices OF fourteen men to perform this
task, aud the casket and body to-
gether weighed nearly a thousand
pounds.
There was no hearse in the city
which could carry such an enormous
coffin, and baggage truck, nicely
draped in black, was used to convey
the remains to the cemetery, where
il required the services OF all who,
could get hold of the coffin to remove
it to the grave side and lower it.
