    3. Anaconda (MT) Standard, October 9, 1902, p. 7. PETRIFIED BODY Indianapolis, October 8-Edward Hisey, an undertaker living in this city, believes that the petrified body of a man found in the sands of the Ohio River opposite Evansville is that of his uncle, Jacob Hisey. He said Hisey mysteriously disappeared from his home in Corydon, Indiana, about 16 years ago and no trace of him was found. Hisey's father said he always believed that Jacob was murdered and his body thrown into White River. Hisey thinks it would have drifted with the sands during the years. Mrs. Addie Stevens, a sister of Jacob Hisey, will go to Evansville to look at the body. Capt. John Eigenmann who found the body has been offered $5,000 for it by museum mangers.
