Jewelry In A Grave

The largest amount of jewelry known to be in a single grave was buried in Greenwood cemetery several years ago. The undertaker who had charge of the funeral protested against it, but was severely sBubbed for his nterference. The family had its way, and in that grave is buried fully $5,000 worth of diamonds, with which the body was decked when prepared for burial. Sometimes familieswho desire to bury their dead in the clothing worn in life - in evening or wedding dresses, ior instance - substitute less costly imitations for the jewelry worn in life, partly from motives of thrift and partly from a superstitious fear that anything taken off a body when It is ready for the tomb will bring ill luek to future wearers.
