He was a . 100 per cent, physical specimen. Mr. Wood embalmed the body and was deter mined to keep it, but being a man kind toward all persons, could not deny colored persons who admired Oscar in his "hard post-mortem state" the privilege of "peeking at him," as stood in a corner; all dressed up in a fine suit and a collar and cravat.
