At that time Watson was living in Baltimore, being a teacher in tho Bryant-Sadler Commercial college, and he could not well leave his business to attend the funeral, and in his absence only temporary burial was given the body, the family awaiting his return to secure a permanent burial lot in the cemetery. Wednesday he went Into the cemetery to remove the body to his lot. The burial case, a metallic casket, was raised from the grave and the natural desire to look upon the face of his child who died and was buried in its father's absence prompted Mr.
