DISINTERRED AFTER 40 YEARS

The old Osborne private burial ground, near Osborne's Mills, has been removed, the bodies being disinterred and removed to Forest Hill cemetery. One of the caskets, containing the remains of Miss Osborne, who died over 40 years ago, was opened and the remains were found in a remarkable state of preservation. A gentleman who attended her funeral stated that she looked as natural as on the day she was buried. Even the flowers which were placed around her had kept their shape perfectly. The soil in which the casket was buried was gravel.
