FOUND NEW HUSBAND AT GRAVE

[Welland Tribune, 9 August 1907]

             Elkhart, Ind., Aug. 2-At the grave of her husband Mrs. M.E. Joles of Bronson, Mich., received a proposal of marriage from Edward Turner, the undertaker, and she promptly accepted. He was so gentle in his treatment of the corpse and so sympathetic in his bearing toward the family that she admired him. The undertaker rode home with her from the grave and when he left her that evening they were engaged to be married. They will be married tomorrow at Elkhart.
