Strange Case of Raising the Dead in New York Lot
A century ago a vacant 100 by 200 foot lot in upper New York drew a trust of two men who funded its protection for heirs to inherit. Names include Gustavus Clough Wyatt Lydia Ward Selby Walter Lambert Florence Dudley Travers Trask Dr. Myrtlewood Dr. Semester. A dramatic experiment by Dr. Trask revived Mrs Selby after massaging her heart, proving her alive briefly before death. The tale ends with the heirs disputed and the doctors delaying marriage beyond November 11.
