Mrs. Benjamin Decker of West Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], recently died, and her relatives were in doubt at first whether transition had really taken place or not, the physician applying the tests of death several days after to make sure. The reason for this precaution is explained by the Bainbridge Republican as follows: The trance spoken of in last week's issue which Mrs. Benjamin Decker experienced some years ago occurred before her marriage. The supposed lifeless body was ready to be placed in the coffin which was in the same room. When an attendant broke a bottle upon a stand nearby, and the pieces flew, one falling upon the forehead of Mrs. Decker with such force as to cut a gash and the blood began to flow. She revived soon after. [Afton Enterprise, Dec. 27, 1900]
During the severe storm of last week a Franklin undertaker had to conduct a funeral with burial at Treadwell. After the funeral the undertaker and the driver of the hearse had seven miles of stormy weather to face, and they began to consider how they might avoid it. There was the interior of the hearse, and finding that the team could be driven through an opening in front they were soon enclosed comfortably within. But the spectacle of a driverless hearse going through the country caused some apprehension and two or three efforts to stop it. At each attempt a deep sepulchral voice from within the hearse said "Let the horses go." They were let go. [Afton Enterprise, Dec. 27, 1900]
