RING BURIED FOR 29 YEARS

Last month when the remains of Capt. Harrison, father of Mrs. J. H. Langridge, were exhumed a large gold ring was discovered.  The ring, which was a heavy gold one, set with a Masonic emblem, was on the finger of Capt. Harrison when he was buried in Old Bayview Cemetery 29 years ago and when those engaged in exhuming the remains found the ring they presented it to Mrs. Langridge, who now has it in her possession wearing it on her finger.  The ring has not in the least deteriorated by its long interment.
