Remains of Eber Homan Reinterred
The remains of Eber Homan arrived in Waterloo yesterday evening from Orrville, O. [Ohio], and were taken to the undertaking parlors of Kramer & Montenie on Fourth street west. The body was interred this afternoon in Elmwood cemetery by the side of his wife, who was buried a little more than a year ago.

Mr. Homan, who died seventeen years ago, was 70 years of age at the time of his death and the father of Mrs. S.H. Pinkerton of this city. The body was in a perfect state of preservation, some action in the nature of petrification having taken place. Even the clothing was only slightly decayed.

The body was reinterred without special services.
