Shipped The Wrong Body

Stevens Point, Wis., Dec. 22. - Enos Stoddard was one of the two veterans who died at the Waupaca Veterans' home Saturday. His relatives live near this city. Sunday morning Mr. Stoddard, a son of the dead man, met the body at the depot here and requested the attendant who came with it to open the coffln at the depot to te sure of the body's identity. The attendant said it was unnecessary, as the shipping tag read all right and the son departed with the boöy. When he arrived home and opened the coffin he was surprised to have the form of a strange man appear to view. It seems the hospital attendants at the home were careless in handling the bodies and got them mixed. The body was reshipped and the risht one was sent up. Stoddard served In Company D, Fifth Wisconsin regiment. He died of paralysis of the heart, aged 63.
