It’s almost Halloween!

🎃 Over the next few days, we’ll be revisiting some of our favorite Spooky Stories of DeKalb from the past few years! Get ready for history, mystery, and some Halloween chills! Click the link in the bio for our first story: Stiffs For Science In 1886, Charles Murphy Candler introduced to the legislature a bill providing “stiffs for science” so medical colleges would have a legitimate way to acquire cadavers without grave robbing. The bill would also make the business of body-snatching a felony. Doctors who procured cadavers legally would have them buried at public expense, but the colleges would have to embalm each body and keep it for 90 days to be delivered to any relative or friend if claimed. 📸Pallbearers at a funeral c. 1920.
