Virginian-Pilot November 25, 1902
FELDSMITH'S BODY IS NOT YET AT REST
In reference to the report that the body of Joseph Feldsmith, who was killed 
Saturday afternoon by a Norfolk and Western train near the Church street 
crossing, was dragged from the city into the county. Magistrate Carmine, of the 
county, declares that the body was simply moved, by his orders, from its 
position just beside the track to a plot of grass about twenty feet distant to 
prevent other trains from striking it.
The Virginian-Pilot has received the following telegram, which was answered:
     Escanaba. Michigan, November 25, 1902.
Please wire name of railroad and place of accident which killed Joseph 
Feldsmith, mentioned in your paper yesterday. Where are remains?
(Signed)
MRS. M. D. FELDSMITH. Undertaker H. C. Smith, who still has the remains in 
charge, later received a dispatch from Mrs. Feldsmith telling him to hold the 
body pending another message which would give instructions for their 
disposition.
