17-8-1918 From an unknown newspaper. Mistaken Identity. Strange Story of a funeral from an Irish Asylum. A remarkable indident is reported from Bansha, Co. Tipperary. It appears that the wives of two farmers from the district, bearing the same surname, and who may be described as Mrs. A. and Mrs. B. were inmates of the County Asylum in Clonmel. The son of Mrs. A. hearing that his mother was ill, went some time ago to see her. Six weeks ago, hearing that she was dead, he and his friends went again to the Asylum and received the remains, which it is stated, had already been coffined, and which were buried in the family burial place in Bansha Churchyard. Afterwards there was a requiem Mass for the repose of the dead woman's soul. The other day when another son of Mrs. A. who is in England, and who had her life insured, applied for a certificate of her death, he discovered to his amazement, that it was Mrs. B. who had died. The remarkable fact is, therefore, that the wrong people went to the funeral, that the coffin was placed in the wrong grave, and that the relatives of the dead woman have been unaware until now of her death.
