The body Of Dan Maxon, over whom
the last sad rites were said today at
the Presbyterian church, was indeed in
a remarkable stage Of preservation,
considering the length of time it was
held for burial. Two months the body
has been at the Gilbertson undertake
ing morgue in room where the tenn
perature was from IS to 80 degrees.
The embalming science has indeed
reached remarkable stage and while
many have hitherto figured it was nee
cessary to bury the dead in couple
of days after death are satisfied that
the remains can be held for months
in the same stage of preservation. For
this reason the funeral held this after
noon, over which Rev. Torbet presided,
was indeed remarkable.
