Can you send those these days?

May 9, 1913

Her Ashes Sent By Mail
Then scattered to the winds in Milford Cemetery, According to Requests in Will.

Worcester, Mass., - One of the most unusual packages to be transported through the now parcel post was received by David B. Rockwood of Milford, Mass., a small can containing the ashes of Mrs. J. Fisher Stoddard, a former resident of this place.
The woman died in Cacaville, Ga., two weeks ago and left a will stating that her ashes should be shipped to Milford and scattered to the winds in Vernon Grove cemetery. The ashes were scattered as directed by the will.
