...Aurora, Ill., Justice Galvin married David Livsey and Fay Sutcliffe. The wedding service: "Do you this lady for your wife take, to pay her bills, praise her steak? To honor and love and keep her well from the marriage hour to the funeral bell? Cherish her well, in sickness or health, to share in poverty or in wealth? Walk the floor when the baby comes?

There is nothing secret about his mummified body, which is there on display. "Queen" Mary had hoped to cherish these properties, sacred and personal, to preach immortality there in the footsteps of her holy spouse. But Judge Dewhirst wanted to modernize the cult. It was even hinted that, if given control, he might go so far as to order the members of the House to shave. No more would...
