Quaint Character of Waterloo
Who Was Greatly Interest
ed In Scientific Studies
MRS. kENT's IRREGULARITIES
More Than Year Ago She Expressed
the Desire That Her Body be Used
for the Furtherance Of Science -
Disposition Of Her Property Was Also
Unique.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times publican.
Waterloo, Oct. 2.-The death Of Mrs.
Rhoda Kent, of this city, removes a
quaint character. She was greatly in
terested in scientific studies, especially
in those relating to physiology, and hy
giene, and she discussed her approach
ing death with nonchalance of man
ner that was astonishing. More than
a year ago she insisted on a contract
with an undertaken to take care Of her
remains the embalming to take place
twenty -four hours after life had been
pronounced extinct. She thought at
that time she was going to die. All the
arrangements for her funeral even to
the charcter of the burial case.
the songs to be sung and the singers,
who We're to sing them, were carefully
planned by her. She especially urged
that the last rites should be simple
and inexpensive. She did not wish to
have any regular sermon preached. nor
any great ado made over her departure.
All of which details were faithfully
carried cut at the last.
But the quaintest thing of all was
her desire that her body be used for the
furtherance Of science; that a post
norton examination be made to the
end that her ailrnent might be correctly
diagnosed. 1t Is to the credit of the
attending physician that the body was
not MANNED. He was certain of his
diagnosis. and could see no good reason
why the remains should be subject tc
an exploratory examination.
The disposition of Mrs. kent's prop
erty was as unique as her llfe had BEEN
She was not thought to possess much
property, and the physician. although
very attentive, doing all for her that
science could suggest, rather looked
ed upon her case as one of at least
partial charity. But the patient said
repeatedly that when certain property
was sold she would pay. The doctor
did not allow the matter to worry him.
1t now turns out that Mrs. Kent arr
ranged for the doctor to get her real
estate, consisting Of a lot which Is quite
valuable. The household and other
personal effects will probably be sold
at auction, and the proceeds. after
needful expenses have been deducted,
given to the Baptist church. of which
she was a member, and to the Baptist
educa tional interests. Mrs. Kent has
made provision for all her funeral ex-
penses.
The case is strange and unique, altho
no one could say that the mind of de-
cedent was affected. She leaves no
Immediate relatives.
