Moatsville Artilleryman Describes Colorful Korean Funeral Procession
Pfc Earl Reed, Moatsville, writing from Korea to The Sentinel correspondent E. D. Semmelman, describes a rare traditional Korean funeral: a line of 30 to 40 pallbearers with a casket on a color decorated platform, an elder bell ringer leading singing, banners with heavenward prayers, and kin women with tree-root headbands. The rite, possibly reserved for the very rich or important, may have stretched two miles, and Reed notes few such ceremonies are held nowadays.
