MYSTERY SHROUDS
GRAVE ROBBERY IN
Body Removed From Grave Where
It Was Buried In 18IH. No
Valuables.
Hock Hill, S. C. Residents of the
Tndia Hook section ot York county
are at. a. loss to understand why j
the grave of Mrs. Nancy ThomaS
son. buried in a private plot in that
section in 1810. was opened rc- j
cently and the body removed.
Several other graves in the
plot which had been preserved
by J. D. Fewell, a fanner of the
Vicinity, were not molested.
The discovery was made by
Mr. Fewell after plowers in the
vicinity had noticed the mound
disturbed and investigated. Mr
Fewell said today that the cas
ket with the body had evidently
been carried away in an uuto- |
mobile.
The Thomasson family owned
| the land on which the graves
were dug years ago before the
Fewell family purchased It. Rela
tives still reside in this section.
A number of theories for the
reason for digging up the body j
have been advanced but none!
that seems to satisfactorily ex- !
plain it. As far as Is known
no valuables were in the grave. I
DOWNTOWN PLAY ARRAS
DEVELOPED BY WOMEN
Cambridge, Mass. — Converting
unused back yards in the business
district into play grounds for chil
dren is a project successfully car
ried out by the Cambridge league
of women voters.
j Realizing that municipal play
grounds are often in distant places
where children must get into heavy
traffic in order to reach them, the
women voters launched its plan for
back yard playgrounds.
Prizes were offered in a city- !
wide contest. Exhibits of back yard
playgrounds were held in all parts !
of the city. Social agencies were ur
terested. Soon boys and girls were ;
more absorbed in making models of
playgrounds than in playing in real j
ones.
