Almost Buried Alive.
[De Graff (Swift County) Courier, Aug. 30.]
A Norwegian woman named Alm, residing about four miles northwest of De Graff, has been very ill for some time. Her condition grew worse last week, and on Monday hope of her recovery was given up, the attending physician declaring the patient would live but a few hours. Toward evening the woman apparently breathed her last, and the friends of the family prepared the body for burial. On the morning following, the supposed corpse awoke from the comatose state in which she had lain during the long hours of the previous night, giving unmistakable evidence of animation. The signs of returning life grew apace until, at last accounts, entire recovery is hoped for by her astonished and gratified friends.
