news OF DEATH
ONCE CONVEYED
BY CORN STALK
Charlottesville Undertaken

Custom.
By Tim es Special

L
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Aug.
24.-R. w. Wade, who retired this
week after fifty years as an under
taker, recalls the time when group
of person bearing a cornstalk was a
symbol of death.
The stalk was the measure of the
person dead, for the purpose Of CIV
ing a coffin size. All collins then
were made by the undertaken and
were not called caskets, the word
now in use, just as mortician is re-
placing undertaken, although fu-
neral director is much used.
When Wade entered upon his
career, there was very little en-
balming. At that time, the under
taker did little more than manu-
facture a container for the body
other details of burial we're attended
to by neighbors.
The one-horse hearse ushered in an
era which extended the services OF
undertakers. The next step was the
two-horse hearse which gave way
to motorized equipment.
Wade once conducted funerals fer
from $40 to SIS, giving the best serv-
ice at these prices that was avail
able at the time. He contrasts that
period with the situation today,
when funeral directors have thou
sands of dollars invested in equip
ment and buy variohs articles they
require at high prices.
