Infants Body Found Buried In Stone Jar

The body of an infant was found last Thursday by Clarence Linville of Benge. It was contained in an earthen jar which had been sealed with sealing wax and buried in the yard near the residence.

Alcohol had been poured into the jar to fill the void so that body was in nearly a perfect state
of preservation. Its origin is a complete mystery. The body was interred in the potter’s field at Lind.

You realize that both Benge and Lind are in Adams County, Washington. Think this mystery will ever be solved? Didn’t even say if it was a baby boy or baby girl. So sad.
