Horror of Worms
Halted Burial
Children Testify in Suit to De
termine Place of Inter
ment of Mother.
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Columbus, Neb., June 21.—Horror
^of being burled In the ground, where
worms were, testified Miss Jessie
Kinnan of Columbus in Platte county
district court, made her mother, Mrs.
M. J. Kinnan request that she not
be burled. This wish, the daughter
said, was often expressed by her
mother prior to her death at Good
land, Kan., Oct. 31, 1921. \
Miss Kinnan told the court that
she, as well as two of her sisters. Miss
iJollie Kinnan and Mrs. August
Grover, both of Columbus, had
promised the mother that her wishes
would be respected. The sisters
erected a costly mausoleum in the
Columbus cemetery, planning to move
the mother’s body here from a vault
in Forest Lawn cemetery in Omaha,
where it is at present.
The other three of the Kinnan chil
dren, Herbert, Joseph and Mrs. Harry
Kllsworth of Polk county, allege that
on two occasions, when their mother
secongpanied them to their father’s
grave in the Osceola cemetery, that
Jhe woman said she wanted to be
buried there. They said that not un
til the funeral did they learn of their
Sisters intentions to keep the body*
in the Omaha vault until the mauso
leum could be finished.
The woman's death occurred at
Goodland, while the family was on
an automobile trip to California.
Reference has also been made sev
eral times during the hearing to the
fact that Jessie and Dollie Kinnan
have filed a $14,000 claim against
their mother's estate for the services
they gave in taking care of her dur
ing the last years of her life.

Wymore, Neb., June 21.—Joe Mer
rill, 90, eccentric bachelor and civil
war veteran, residing on a 15-acre
timbered tract near the Union Pacific
tracks, two miles northeast of here,
for the past 45 years, was found by
neighbors dead in hi* home Thursday

The body was full clothed and sit
ting upright In ft chair. According to
physicians Merrill had been dead
about four days. He was last seen
alive Sunday. Death Is supposed to
have resulted from natural causes.
He Is thought to have had money, as
for years he has drawn a pension of
$72 per month and spent little, living
as a recluse. His only known rela
tives are two brothers, Robert, in
Maine, and Albert, in New York. It
is said he never married because his
brother Albert won his sweetheart in

Merrill came west and has never seen
his brothers since.
