FLORIDA LADY RESUSCITATED 
AT BRINK OF GRAVE

Medical Science Did All It Could 
Then to Save Her, But 
Too Late 

Arcadia, Fla., Oct. 26. - The wife of W. G. Wells, a wealthy lumber and timber man of this county, had been quite ill for some time. She had a sinking spell last Saturday morning, and was finally pronounced dead by the attending physician, who also advised early interment. The funeral was announced for that same afternoon and a very large number of relatives and sympathizing friends were in attendance at the Joshua Creek Cemetery, where the interment was to have taken place. The coffin was opened according to custom, for the relatives to take a last look at the departed loved one, when the husband discovered that the glass on the inside of the coffin was covered with moisture and the eyes of the supposed corpse were open. The lid was at once taken off and to the horror of all present it was discovered that the body was still warm and that there were faint indications of a pulse. Physicians from Arcadia were at once summoned and arrived with batteries and other appliances, but after working for several hours, the last spark of life left her body. The physicians called in the last time unhesitatingly say that the body 
was not dead when it was placed in the coffin. The affair has caused a sensation all over the county. It has added to the burden of grief of the sorrowing relatives and has been commented upon as an unanswerable argument against hurried interment.
