Batavia Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State December 28-1880 # 2 The Recent Buffalo Fire. The unexplored ruins of the Birge factory were turned over yesterday morning, but the eighth body was not found. Undertaker RODNEY has been of the opinion that there were eight bodies instead of seven in his cellar, and WERZEL examined the remains very carefully yesterday, but became satisfied that there were only seven and so testified at the Coroner's inquest. Mr. RODNEY based his opinion on two shin bones which lay beside the largest body. The doctor, however, said that while the bones might not belong to that particular body they evidently were not the remains of the eighth. The supposition is that the missing remains were burned to ashes. The funeral of the victims will take place this morning at nine o'clock from St. Joseph's Cathedral. Bishop RYAN will celebrate high mass and probably deliver a brief address. The remains will be placed in separate coffins of exceedingly neat and tasteful design. They are of imitation rosewood, of uniform size, with silver handles, and in place of the usual plate there is a small silver cross. Thirty-two factory boys will act as pall bearers. The workmen of both the factory and retail store will turn out in a body, and the store will be closed. The remains will be interred side by side. Carriages will be sent before nine o'clock to bring the relatives and friends to the Cathedral * List of Jurors.
