DEAD BODIES ARE PRESERVED
Woman's Body Turns to Hard
ness of Chalk.

Hannibal, N. Y, Nov. 27.-Two
bodies which have recently been disin-
TERED for removal from the tenetery
here have been found to be petrifed.
The last body TO be exhumed was that
Of Mrs. Rose Van Horn, who died in
1886. When the sexton opened the
grave he found that the coffin had
fallen to pieces but the woman's body
was perfectly preserved and the wide
open eyes added to its life-like appear
ance.
The doctor who issued the permit to
open the grave declared it remark
able case of petrihcation.
The preservation was as nearly per-
feet as it was possible to be-" he said.
Every vein. noticeable in life, can be
seen. The finger nails were perfect.
The most peculiar feature was the eyes
They looked precisely like those of a
living person. The body was about the
hardness Of chalk, but few years
more would have made it as hard as
flint. presume the petrlfcation is
due to some peculiar quality of the
SOIL"
The residents believe that all the
bodies inferred in the cemetery have
undergone a like preservation.
