Burial mixup at Sullivan County military funeral
Charles Otis Dial of Carlisle was buried after a misidentification caused the body to be swapped with Frank E. Snapp of Summittville Ind. The Thursday service honored Dial, while army officers later retrieved Dial’s body for proper burial and Snapp’s body was laid to rest. The event drew Sullivan residents, a Legion guard, and a firing squad at the cemetery.
