EMMELINE DIXON
DEAD AWAKES
Unconscious Woman Recovers as Lid of Casket Closes
  Portsmouth, N.C., May 10 - While conducting funeral rites for Mrs. Emmeline 
Dixon, 70 years old, here Wednesday the Rev. Guy Hamilton was terrified when 
the supposed corpse protested the obsequies.
  The lid was being screwed upon the casket when Mrs. Dixon exclaimed: "Please 
don't put the cover on just now."
  The woman had been unconscious. She had been in failing health for some 
weeks, and it was said she had "passed away" quietly. The body became rigid 
and pale.
  The preacher was sent for and other arrangements made and many of the people 
of the village gathered for the burial. Some of these left hurriedly when Mrs. 
Dixon regained consciousness.
