A Brief Note From 1901 About A Heavy Sleeper

From the November 20, 1901 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

Decatur, Ala.–James Wynn, an Oxford blacksmith, narrowly escaped being buried alive to-day. After the funeral services the casket was opened at the grave, when the body was seen to move.

The casket was hurried back to the home of Wynn, where he revived and is now under treatment. Wynn had been pronounced dead by physicians and he lay apparently dead for two days.”
