Description
An article published in the Chattanooga Daily Times that covers a previously published story covering accusations against African American undertaker and funeral director, G. W. Franklin. The accusations largely centered on Franklin burying paupers' bodies naked, in particular the body of a white woman. This publication includes a retraction, which states that the accusations were false, and instead Franklin provided decent attire for naked bodies that came to him from Hamilton County.
