When a crew of workers were digging in a garden plot on Egypt Plantation in Cruger, Mississippi, in the summer of 1969, they stumbled across an old glass and metal coffin.

Through the glass, the body of the individual who lay inside the coffin could be seen clearly. It was a woman with long, brown hair, wearing a red velvet dress, a cape, white gloves, and square-toed boots with buckles. Her clothing indicated that she had died during the mid-1800s.
