Future Labels

A few other labels, and possible pages, that will eventually be appearing under the "Exhumed" section :
"Busted" : People that have been incarcerated.
"Milk Carton" : Photos of people that I cannot identify.
"Say Cheese" : Photos of people that I can identify.

C'mon...you gotta have a sense of humor about these things.

Bowman & Drennen - 1889

Smith, Ephriam - 1889

A valuable invention :
We were recently invited to see Ephriam Smith’s latest invention, which is designed to be used in connection with the alarm of fire.  Each member of the fire company is provided with a bed that has a powerful spring, which is set upon retiring, and when an alarm of fire is sounded, an electric current free the spring, which throws the sleeper out on the floor, and at the same time opens up a shower bath that effectually drenches him.

 Exactly two minutes afterward, a post revolves, in which a number of cowhides are attached that finish the awakening process if the spring and bath have failed to do this.

 Mr. Smith is to be congratulated on his ingenuity, and it is believed his invention fills a long felt want, and will be extensively used where it has been most impossible to awake the fire companies.

Spreckles, Claus - 1889

Claus Spreckles, the lucky sugar king, while excavating for a large water tank at his new sugar refinery at Philadelphia, accidently <sic> struck what is supposed to be a belt of natural gas.  Thousands of people visited the place all eager to see what natural gas looked like when ablaze.  The gas first bubbled through the water, and when a match was applied, it loomed for hours at a time, the blaze changing colors every few minutes.  Mr. Spreckles says if the discovery proves genuine gas and a good producer, it will save him $2,000 a day in fuel.

Spangler, John - 1889

A Somerset paper the other day records a peculiar mishap to John Spangler.  He was walking with a sack of flour on his shoulder, and a large dog behind him.  Both were unconscious that a train was approaching from the rear, and were crossing a creek upon the railroad ties when the man was suddenly hit by the dog’s body, hurled at him by the engine; and man, dog and flour were knocked into the water.  The dog was killed; the man is all right; the flour is not.
