. “ story or a body which was buried
all” month!- alter death is already sur-
”moth E. M. Senior, the undertaker of
'mlfimdway, has just' parted with a
‘ body which had been in his possession for
about 28 years. ,.
On the morning of May 6, 1886, there
came to Mr. Senior'a father, who then can
tied on business at libCarmine street, the
land of Hortense ’l‘hevenon Buisley, one
of lemons Buisley family of nominate
and dancers. Mr. Senior's father, who is
7, now dead, received the letter from San
Wino which accompanied the body,
and which asked that it shoulibbe kept by
him until some of the dead woman’s rela~
mulled for it. The colfiu. incioecd in,
I hair a! California redwood, was put into
311. Senior"- private vault in the Carmina
. street house. No one claimed it, and
there for four years it remained, until
Mr. Soulor removed it to the underground
vaultof the cellar in Carminestreet. From
lthat time the unburied body was forgot-
‘tm, and there it lay until a few weeks
ago, when Mr. Senior received notice tl at
the building, for which he had no further
use, was to be rented. It became neces-
aaryto clean out the underground vault.
Theli the box was f ml. The workmen
at first took it for o lumber, but when
the box was opened there was found first
a lot of old newspaper clippings giving
81119ch notices of one Mme. Bulsley, a
dancer, tho framed photograph of a fnmv
ily group, and then, underneath these, an
iron coffin. The breastplnte told whose
body was inside the casket.‘
When a death certificate had been ob-
tained from'Sau Francisco the New York
board of health issned ‘a burial permit,
and the body of the long forgotten dancer
now rests in consecrated ground. Mr.
Senior found a corner for it in the Luther.
an cemetery, Long Island.
The Buisley family are now but the
faintest memories in the minds of the old-
er school of playgoers, while to the young-
er generation their names suggest noth-
ing. Yet 30 years ago the appearance 0!
their names in a playbill was sufficient to
pack any house in the city. DM. Octave
Buisley, the head of the troop, and his
family came to this country from Paris
about 32 years ago and finally settled in
San Francisco. Their fame as acrobnts
and contortionists had preceded them and
at the Olympic theater they drew crowded
houses. Among the troop was a dark
eyed, black haired, oval faced damsel
whom Buisley had discovered soon after
‘ his arrival in this country, and whom he
quickly married. lIer stage name was
Body. Her lie-Witching beauty, no less
than her grace as a dancer, was sufficient
in itself to draw to her train the men about
town of that day.
The body which for ‘29 years rested in
the Carmine street. cellar was all that re-
mained ol' Dody.—-New York Tribune.
