Buried In a Ghoul Proof Grave. Mrs. G. F. Routon, wife of a West Newton pioneer, was buried at that place a few days ago. She was 58 years of age and was an exceedingly large woman, weighing 852 pounds. This necessitated a casket 6" feet long, 28 inches wide and 19 inches deep. A few weeks ago an attempt at-tempt was made to rob a grave at West Newton, nenr the lot in which Mrs. Routon Rou-ton was buried, and this led the relatives of Mrs. Routon to have a ghoul proof frave vault of iron made.
