Plus it was hot summer and human remains did not ship well in hot railroad baggage cars, then. Sometimes open wicker "caskets" were used by the failroads; Union Station in Washington, D.C., into the last centery had it's own mortuary. My kinsman, Mrs. Shaw's father-in-law, Leven Woollen, is buried across from the courthouse, Carthage. He made the overhead interior pleats in the physician's wagon at Tyson & Jones/Kelly Buggy Works. The late Mrs. Page (son a local lawyer?) (her head shook much: nice lady, R.I.P) would tell me about the Shaws/Woollen/Pages. Levin's home was on the old homes tour. In 1975 I lived at Lemon Springs and was a paralegal student at CCTI (now CCCC). I'm now a retired FAA/FCC licensed airline mechanic (BS Aviation) and U.S. civil servant, to Southport, N.C. I'd like to visit the 1st Mrs. Jewett's grave; though I descend the 2nd Mrs. Stephen Jewett, IV. Jim Miller
