Some years ago whilst reseaching Union Maj. James Wilson, I found a bill from "John A. Smithers and Bro., Undertakers". His billhead declared that he was the "Sole Agents For The Manufacture and Sale of Dr. G. W. Scolay's Patent, Air-Tight, Deoderizing Burial Cases, and Caskets." His charge for Maj. Wilson for this manner of burial case was $75.
