About eight years ago, J. W. Keeney buried two of his children in the cemetery at Blackfoot, one a little girl about five years of age, and the other a babe of about five months. Last Friday he had them taken up for the purpose of re-interment in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery, at Salt Lake City. He was surprised to find their bodies in an almost perfect state of preservation, that of the youngest presenting the appearance of a waxen image, and only a slight discoloration on one side of the face of the elder as a result of their long residence in the lonesome city of the dead.
