"From the Louisville Courier-Journal
A curious story is told in New Albany. On the night of December 2 Mrs. Sophia Scharf, wife of Anton Scharf, died at her home on East Fifth and Spring streets and the funeral took place several days after. Recently, it is alleged, Mrs. Frank Zoeller, daughter-in-law of the dead woman, residing at #ast Eighth and Sycamore streets, was surprised to observe a perfect representation of the head of her mother-in-law at the window of her house. The apparition was afterward seen by Mrs. Peter Weinman, Fritz Weinman, two daughters of Officer Dennis Gleason and several others. After the second visit a perfect picture of the deceased was left on the window pane. Several persons, it is claimed, attempted to rub it off, but the picture remained until Saturday evening, when Joseph Scharf, a son of the dead woman, who had just arrived from the far West, having been called to his mother's funeral, passed his handkerchief over it, when it disappeared. The case is exciting considerable comment in the part of the city where it occurred."
