happy october! tis the season of people posting like. deeply saddening human stories only to follow it up with "wow isn't that creepy spooky :)"

like. no? this man defended his family member's final resting place from urban development. why would that be haunted or spooky, instead of just like. sad that he had to stand there for hours with a gun to keep people from disturbing her grave? why aren't we thinking about the fact that thousands of other people fought that same fight and didn't win, didn't get a median with a historical marker to forever commemorate your love for your family member. and your devotion to her rest.

the dude who was unburied and mummified in Pennsylvania only just now getting buried is not "creepy" and "scary" its fucking sad that this man was allowed to be experimented on and displayed because he committed a petty crime hundreds of years ago.

like i think ghost stories and believing in a remnant of people's spirits is fun but like. not at the expense of these idk. very real human experiences that are frequent throughout history. its not creepy. its just fucking sad that people DO this to each other.

#death cw #death talks #poasting #no respect for the dead during spooky szn i guess. its like the one time. cmon #USE UR BRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #for context: the final resting place of Nancy Barnett in indiana and stoneman willie in PA

Pennsylvania mummy 'Stoneman Willie' to receive proper burial after 128 years

A mummified man known as Stoneman Willie will receive a proper burial after being on display at a funeral home in Reading, Pennsylvania, for 128 years.

The unidentified man was an alcoholic who died of kidney failure in a local jail on Nov. 19, 1895. He was accidentally mummified by a mortician experimenting with new embalming techniques, according to Auman's Funeral Home.

Dressed in a suit with a bow tie, the gaunt man is displayed in a coffin with a red sash across his chest. His hair and teeth remain intact, and his skin has taken on a leathery appearance.

The Theo C. Auman Funeral home in Reading, Pennsylvania had a long term tenant named "Stoneman Willie". Willie has been under the care of the home since November 21, 1898.

.Willie (real name James Murphy) was arrested in 1898 for burglary and drunken mischief. He was imprisoned where he soon died of alcohol withdrawal. He provided police with the fake name James Penn. Funeral home owner Theo C. Auman was experimenting with new embalming techniques at the time. Auman hoped to preserve the body long enough for a next-of-kin to be identified and notified. The technique ended up mummifying the body completely. No next-of-kin was ever found and Willie's body has been in care of the funeral home for 128 years. He was given the nickname Stoneman Willie.

.Decades of research have recently identified Willie as one James Murphy of New York.

This week was his last public viewing. Afterwards, he was given a funerary procession, buried and given a tombstone bearing his name.

Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a wave of rocket attacks and sent fighters into Israel in the biggest escalation in decades. PM Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed "mighty vengeance" on Palestinian militants for what he called a "black day". The violence continued on Saturday evening - with Tel Aviv and other central Israeli cities hit by a new barrage of rockets and Israel saying they are fighting militants in 22 places. Some 250 people in Israel have been killed and dozens of Israelis are believed to have been taken hostage. Israel has already responded with a wave of air strikes on Gaza, killing more than 230 people, officials say. The Israeli army has asked residents of several areas of the Gaza Strip to flee their homes in preparation for retaliatory strikes against Hamas. U.S. President Joe Biden offered Israel on Saturday "all appropriate means of support" after a deadly attack from Palestinian militant group Hamas and warned "any party hostile to Israel" not to seek advantage. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke Saturday with foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt, reiterating Israel's right to self defense, calling for coordinated efforts to halt the Hamas attacks, and discussing "the unprecedented scale and brutality of the Hamas attacks on Israeli territory," according to a State Department spokesman. The United Nations Security Council scheduled a closed meeting for Sunday after Hamas attacked Israel, triggering a bloody conflict that some analysts fear could spread. Hundreds of people are feared dead and at least 1,000 are injured after a powerful earthquake hit western Afghanistan, near the Iranian border. Ecuador’s national police chief and the head of the penitentiary institute were ousted Saturday after seven suspects in the assassination of a presidential candidate were killed in prison under mysterious circumstances.

Jheilyn Cermeño Una momia que ha estado en exhibición durante 128 años en una funeraria en Reading, Pensilvania, Estados Unidos (EEUU), tendrá un funeral adecuado. Vestido con un traje y una corbata de moño, el hombre se muestra en un ataúd con una banda roja cruzando su pecho. Su cabello y dientes permanecen intactos. La momia conocida como Stoneman Willie murió de insuficiencia renal en una cárcel local el 19 de noviembre de 1895. El hombre no identificado fue un alcohólico. Debido a que proporcionó un nombre falso cuando quedó arrestado por hurto, la identidad de Stoneman Willie estuvo desconocida durante muchos años. Por lo que las autoridades locales no pudieron localizar a sus familiares. La funeraria solicitó al Estado permiso para mantener el cuerpo en lugar de enterrarlo para monitorear el proceso experimental de embalsamamiento. Sin embargo, ahora la funeraria afirma que lo identificado y dará a conocer su nombre el día de su entierro. Antes de sepultarlo, la ciudad de Reading rendirá un homenaje a «Willie». El pasado domingo, los residentes locales desfilaron por las calles para celebrar el 275 aniversario con un colorido desfile que incluyó un coche fúnebre que llevaba el ataúd de Willie. Durante toda esta semana Willie estará en exhibición en la Funeraria Auman. El sábado 7 de octubre 2023, hará su último viaje por las calles de Reading y será enterrado en un cementerio local, donde finalmente se inscribirá su nombre real en su lápida.

128 yılını Reading, Pensilvanya'daki bir cenaze evinde sergilenen mumyalanmış Stoneman Willie, nihayet 7 Ekim 2023'te saygılı bir halde gömülecek.19 Kasım 1895'te adı açıklanmayan bir alkolik adam, böbrek yetmezliği sebebiyle mahalli bir hapishanede vefat etti. Auman'ın Cenaze Evi'ne bakılırsa, yeni mumyalama prosedürlerini deneyen bir cenazeci onu yanlışlıkla mumyaladı.Sıska adam, bir ekip elbise ve papyon takmış bir tabutun içinde sergileniyor ve göğsünün çevresinde kırmızı bir dönem var. Cildinin kösele benzer biçimde bir görünümü var fakat saçları ve dişleri hâlâ orada.Stoneman Willie'nin kimliği oldukca uzun süre bilinmiyordu ve adam yankesicilik suçundan hapse atıldığında düzmece isim kullandığı için mahalli yetkililer aile üyelerini bulamadı.Cenaze evi, tecrübe etme mumyalama prosedürünü gözlemlemek amacıyla cesedi gömmek yerine alıkoymak için devletten izin istemişti.Sadece Auman'ın Cenaze Evi'ne bakılırsa Stoneman Willie artık zamanı kayıtlar vesilesiyle tanındı ve bu hafta cenaze gömüldüğünde adı kamuoyuna açıklanacak. İrlandalı soyunun ötesinde onun hakkında şimdiye kadar pek bir şey bilinmiyordu.Cenaze müdürü Kyle Blankenbiller, "Ondan mumya olarak bahsetmiyoruz. Ondan arkadaşımız Willie olarak bahsediyoruz" dedi. "O öyleki bir simge haline geldi ki, yalnızca Reading'in geçmişinin değil, kesinlikle bugününün de öykülü bir parçası oldu."Nesiller süresince Reading folklorunun kıymetli bir parçası olan adam, cenazesinden ilkin kent tarafınca anımsanacak.Mahalli halk, Pazar günü Reading'in 275. doğum gününü anmak için Willie'nin tabutunu taşıyan bir motosiklet cenaze otomobilinin da yer almış olduğu canlı bir geçit töreniyle sokaklara akın etti.Willie bu hafta süresince Auman'ın Cenaze Evi'nde sergilenecek. Yakınlardaki bir mezarlığa defnedilmeden ve gerçek adı resmi olarak gömüt taşına yazılmadan ilkin, Cumartesi günü Reading sokaklarında son yolculuğunu meydana getirecek.
