As so, in 1922, little Mary Evva's metal casket was exhumed for reburial. At this point, the unusual feature of the story develops.  As Mrs. Bishop remembers her Uncle Calvin telling the tale, the child's body was found to be perfectly preserved and in what was described as a "petrified" condition, like a rock.  She was described as an unusually beautiful baby, and those who peeked through the glass plate of the coffin insisted that this beauty remained intact through the years of her burial.  Calvin Mullen told his niece that the baby's casket was kept for several days in the cemetery vault, and that hundreds of curious people from this county and adjoining counties came to see the unusual sight.  After several days the little metal coffin was reburied, this time in the parent's plot in Fountain Park Cemetery, but the old marker was set at the head of the grave.  The verse on the marker beneath Mary Evva's name is almost obliterated by erosion of the soft limestone, bit it says in part: "Little Mary's slumbering away, in her lovely iron bed..." The little home-made verse, like many of those crudely carved on older limestone markers, has a personal and poignant note, bringing closer the sense of a family's sorrow at losing the little girl over a century ago.  But only the story handed down through the Mullen family remains to tell in what an unusual way little Mary's "slumbering" would become a legend for historians to record.
