Imagine dying in 1911, not having any kin to claim your body, being embalmed, then being paraded around with circuses and your body being displayed in museums. Then after a while, people kinda just forget you were ever a human, using your body as a prop in movies and being hung from a fake gallows in a fun house. Imagine 65 years after your death you finally get identified and get a proper burial. This is the story of Elmer McCurdy, “The Bandit Who Wouldn’t Give Up”.
