Mummified Man, Stoneman Willie, To Be Buried After 128 Years On Display In US by Truths9ja: 1:40pm On Oct 06, 2023
Mummified man, Stoneman Willie, to be buried after 128 years on display in the U.S.

A mummified man is set to receive a proper burial after being on display at a funeral home in Pennsylvania, USA for 128 years.

Known as Stoneman Willie, the man was an alcoholic who diÂŁd of kidney failure in a local jail after being arrested for pickpocketing on November 19, 1895, SkyNews reports.

He was accidentally mummified by a mortician experimenting with new embalming techniques, according to Auman's Funeral Home.

Dressed in a suit with a bow tie, Stoneman Willie is displayed in a coffin with a red sash across his chest. His hair and teeth remain intact, and his skin has taken on a leathery appearance.

Having given a fake name at the time of his arrest, the man's identity remained unknown for many years and local officials were unable to contact any relatives.

But using historical documents, Stoneman Willie's real name has been identified and will be inscribed at the bottom of his tombstone when his body is b„ried on Saturday, October 7.

“We don't refer to him as a mummy. We refer to him as our friend Willie. He has just been such an icon, such a storied part of not only Reading's past but certainly its present,” funeral director Kyle Blankenbiller said.

Innocent man will rest finally after 128yrs...

A body will remain in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted by an external force, thats the condition of a dead man. Hardware is useless without the software

When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It’s pain only for your loved ones.

It’s the same thing when you are stupid.

If you realize that the time one will spend in grave will supersede the on earth before Christ comes you’ll enjoy every bit of life.
Instead of spending it on Hate, envy and bitterness.

It's high time we stopped the mummification of misfits as leaders in this nation and laid to rest those who put Nigerians in unnecessary and arbitrary shackles.

A black man, their usual guinea pig. Did this man not have families? Were there not any rights accruable to the family for this kind of display? Who even authorized this in the first place? For centuries they didn't let old Willy rest in peace. Gross!!
