[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger December 23, 1880 VINTON Mrs. Saville Reynolds, an esteemed lady of McArthur, died, last Saturday, of paralysis. A McArthur correspondent under date of last Saturday writes: In 1866 a child of J. C. Garrett, Manager of Vinton Furnace, died and was buried here in our cemetery. The casket was a metalic (sic) one, and used for the purpose of removing the remains at some future date. Mr. Garnett, who now resides in East St. Louis, sent word here today to have the remains raised and forwarded to Cincinnati for interment in the Spring Grove Cemetery, where he and family would meet them. Imagine the consternation of our people when it was discovered that body-snatchers had anticipated the remains of their darling. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson
