From the Mobile, Alabama Newspaper

Friday, July 16, 1909

"Beroujon & Sands , well-known local undertakers, Wednesday afternoon received a message from Nelily Leuenberg , a former Mobilian, now living in El Paso, Tex., announcing the death of his wife, formerly a Miss Ziegler of this city. Arrangements were made to have the remains brought to Mobile for interment and Beroujon & Sands were wired to take charge of the funeral upon arrival of remains in Mobile. The firm wired an El Paso undertaker relative to the matter and Wednesday night at a late hour received a reply that Mrs. Leuenberg was not dead and that a mistake had been made. The good news was gladly received by many relatives and friends in Mobile."

Not my line, just sharing.
