COMPLAIN OF CONDITION OF BODY OF JOHN MARCH
Elizabeth Daily Journal
The undertakers said that it required much work to get the body in presentable shape, whereas it would have been possible for the undertakers on the steamer to have embalmed the body when it was taken from the water, or by those undertakers in Halifax, where the body lay for four days before being sent to Newark. According to the undertakers, Mr. March must have perished from cold or exposure, as there was no evidence to show that he had met death by drowning.
