Buried the Wrong Corpse in Hull Cemetery
A grave mix up near Hull last Friday led to the interment of a stranger’s casket instead of J. W. Bogess old soldier and former resident. A late Milwaukee train delayed the body transport and sleigh burial proceeded with many mourners before telegrams revealed the error. The Bogess body was recovered and reburied after a second service.
