Vicki, I will have to reread the magazine if we still have the issue, I seem to remember that they buried the individual but held the funeral in the spring time ... My ancestors spent little time in Kentucky in their movement westward... so I don't spend to much time reading the issues for information... I see what I can find this week.. Jerry >Jerry: What did the KY article say they did in the meantime with the body? >Something like they did with Gus in Lonesome Dove? Packed them in salt and >put them the ice house until spring? > >Hope this subject doesn't bother anyone......I think it's interesting. >Vicki
