Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 120, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 September 1903 — Silver Plating for Unman Bodies. [ARTICLE]

Silver Plating for Unman Bodies.

A German professor has invented a process of silver plating dead bodies so as to convert them Into metallic images of the Individuals as they were when In life. Gold plate can be used if the relatives can afford it. But as the expense of silver-plating a body Is $12,500 there are probably few relatives who would deem themselves justified in squandering the deceased’s estate on such a memorial.
