This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/yYB.2ACI/2777.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I know what I have in my possession and I do NOT need a scholar to verify or confirm it. It is an orginal and NOT a copy of an Announement at Worthington College. Yes, I tend to get upset over the stealing of a corpse. It was wrong then and it is wrong now. No matter how you try and slice the engagement it was a crime. Stealing is stealing sir whether it's a dime or a body. As stated before I will NOT help you about Beach because he was an evil, vile and corrupt man. Perhaps you would prefer a Dr. Jekell or Mr. Hyde view. During the day he was a good citizen. I enjoy helping people and will continue to do so. I should have never posted this message to begin with and for that you have my apology. I did NOT post this in an effort to to harrass you, rather to inform you that this man was a body snatcher. I also understand your concern and merits for wanted evidence. But that is the rub, at least for me. Your mind is made up insofar as justifing body snatching for science. My mind is also made up and I feel that body snatching was illegal and macabre. Some medical colleges had a great deal to lose if the communtiy found out they were stealing bodies. Murder was often committed to keep their secrets quiet. I am NOT saying that Beach committed any murders but I am suggesting that had he known, he would have kept quiet. Body snatchers were a highly well organized and secret organization for they had to be for their very existence. Likewise I am also disappointed in your decison NOT to give your proceeds to the cemeteries in Ohio. Not surprised though. Perhaps it is best to simply argree to disagree. There is no need to continue our conversation.
