Shelby Heirloom
Once Used To Hide Dead Body OF
infant On Shipboard

A very peculiar history is back of
an old oak chest that is now in pos
session of Mrs. Evaline Shelby Rob-
erts, of Marion, KY, whose father
was a grandson of Governor Shelby,
Of Kentucky. This chest was made
for a storage Of fine linens, some
time prior to the year 1900. A Dutch
family by the name of Order brought
the piece of furniture from Holland
about the year 1900, using it as stor-
age for their linens while crossing
the ocean. During the voyage an in
FAINT of Mrs. Order became sick and
died on the vessel. It's mother being
unwilling for her child to be east
overheard, after its death hid it away
in this chest and in few days the
sailors. who were at that time very
began to follow the ship. 1t was at
once suspected that a death had oc-
Cured on board.A search was made,
was called and all were found to be
alive. Finally some one of the crew
remembered that a baby had been
brought aboard before the ship set
sail; another search was made, and

the oak chest with the fire linens, and
around its little BODY the mother had
placed different kinds of spices to try
and preserve the child until the ship
could reach land. Upon it's discovery,
regardless of the appeals of the moth
err. it was thrown overheard by or
ders from the master of the vessel,
but the chest in which it had been
concealed was brought on across and
has been carefully preserved from
that time to the present, and is very
highly priced by its owner, Mrs. Rob-
erts.
Descendants of the Crider family
intermarried with descendants of the
Shelby family and in this way the old
chest has been handed down from
one generation to the succeeding one
for the last 800 years.
