Awarding to report there was no bedding in the house what» ever other than a bundle ofstraw thrown upon the floor in a corner of a room until recently. when they were given the bedding of sperson who had died with a contagious disease. The bed, it is said. was ordered de- stroyed by the undertaker who had charge of the funeral and it is stated that the undertaker refused absolutely to allow the remains to be seen by the public for fear of infection. Plutt’s family used the bed-without washing and in consequence one son was taken violently ill and died within a few days, while the remaining members are now stricken by the same disease. The son who disd was buried within a few hours of his death. no undertaker being employed. It is said that the remains were taken to the cemetery in an ordi- nary wagon, and the neighbors assem- bled and dug a grave for the body wall- ing interment. l’latt is a veteran of the late war and draws a small pension which is ab rut all the support of the family, other than the earnings of the wife.
