DOUBLE BURIAL, HUSBAND DEAD FOR TEN YEARS
—One of the most unusual occurrences ever recorded in Shelbina was the burial side by side, Sunday, of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Vaught. The former died about ten years ago and was buried at Mt. Tabor, east of Atlanta. Because of the inaccessibility of his grave, the body was taken up and brought to Shelbina to be buried at the side of and at the same time of the burial of Mrs. Vaught, who had died Wednesday of last week.
—Mr. Vaught's body had been laid to rest in a steel vault and when it arrived in Shelbina the undertaker opened the casket finding the remains as perfectly preserved as the day it was first buried. All members of the family and many old acquaintances viewed the remains and were surprised at its preservation.
—Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Vaught died at her home here Wednesday night of last week after 12 hours of serious illness, caused from high blood pressure. She was born August 28, 1856, in Kentucky and has lived in this county 88 years. She was Miss Mary Elizabeth Pence before her marriage to J. H. Vaught, who preceded her in death 10 years ago.
—She is survived by ten children, twenty-two grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. The children are Mrs. J. M. Scouville, St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Dea Anderson of Indianapolis, Ind., Mrs. Ella Binns, Mrs. Mat Farris, Mrs. Marie Long of Hannibal, Wes, Eph and Chris of Shelbina and Jim Vaught of Muskogee, Okla. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Nina Hubber and Mrs. Jane Vaught of Louisville, Ky., and one brother, J. R. Pence of Louisville.
—Funeral services were held at the Christian church here Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Rudolph of Ludlow, Mo.
