Two Burials On One Coffin Shocks County Coroner
Omaha, July 4. The coroner was alerted to a bizarre case at a farm six miles from the city. Price, a man described as atheistic, buried his brother Adolph in a fresh grave and then removed the body from the coffin, wrapped it in a quilt, and reburied it with the old coffin. He later placed his sister’s loot in the repurposed coffin and hid the entire act from view. The coroner found nothing to condemn the act as a crime, and Price appeared surprised by the inquiry.
