Golden Grove Villagers a week ago were thrown in great waves of sensation through the death of Mr. Oliver Hughes, who was reported dead early on Tuesday morning.
Mr. Hughes was to be buried the very afternoon.
The 2:30 P: M train from Georgetown, and elsewhere brought friends with wreaths to attend the funeral.
Not long after the arrival of friends the dead man came to life, again to the surprise of the dead man's relatives and friends. Telegram was immediately sent to the Stable which was engaged for funeral - to stop the Hearse and coffin as Mr. Hughes came back to life.
Mr. Oliver Hughes is the son of Mr. Nathaniel Hughes and the brother of Corporal Hughes - the Well-Known Obeah Specialist.
