Only Charlie Campbell
Exhibitor is able to
present such an attraction as Marie O’Day, The ex-night club entertainer
whose body was found beneath a pavilion on the shores of the
Great Salt Lake, 19 years after she had disappeared, and in
perfect state of preservation. [Mummified but not petrified.]
The discovery of her body
wrote another chapter into the unusual, colorful, if tragic
story of her life. Her condition at the time she was found
was attributed to the twenty-one per cent of salt chemical
content present in the water of the Great Salt Lake. It is a
story which has never been duplicated.
Marie's name first hit the
news when she mysteriously faded out after a performance at a
night club.
Investigation revealed that
she was stabbed in the back, and her throat cut and she
was thrown into the lake, where it washed ashore and was covered
up with salt silt and sand for 12 years. This is what
preserved the body and left it in the mummified leather like
condition.
When you see the REAL BODY of
Miss Marie O'Day, you will see that the body is still pliable,
|
you will note the beautiful
red hair upon her head, which is still growing. The well
persevered teeth, you will see her fingernails, toe nails
even the corn upon her toe.
Mr. Campbell takes great
pleasure in presenting this wonderful work of nature in
preserving a human body and we are pleased to have your family
doctor come as our guest and make such inspection as he
desires to convince himself as to whether or not this is a real
human body.
However, this gruesome
act was followed by the even more startling fact that her
body was preserved through the 12 years it lay buried on the
shores of the Great Salt Lake.
Doctors and nurses and under-
takers are especially invited to make such inspection as
necessary to convince themselves that Marie O'Day was once
alive! The same as you and I.
We are pleased to state that
Marie O'Day's "lover or common-law husband was captured and
convicted for the brutal crime, and is now paying for his crime
with 99 years or life in a Utah State Penitentiary".
