Rensselaer Republican, Volume 28, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 December 1896 — Body Had Turned to Stone. [ARTICLE]

Body Had Turned to Stone.

Workmen are engaged in removing the bodies from a cemetery in Pittsburg. The other day they came across the remains of a woman which had turned to stone, and which required four men to lift it. The body had been in the ground ten or fifteen years, ,and during that time the hair had grown Six to ten inches. The body was in a perfect state of preservation, and appeared as natural as though death had Just taken place. As I approve of a youth, that has eoir ething of the Old Man In him, so I am no less pleased with an Old Man that has something of the youth.
