William Judson Moon was away from home when his wife Molly committed suicide in 1904. By the time he returned to Caddo, Texas, she had already been buried. Moon was so distraught that he enlisted some local women to help him dig Molly back up and dress her in a new dress he had bought her, and then she was reburied. But Moon would, in a short time, insist that she be disinterred again, bathed, and redressed. This happened so many times that Moon eventually could get no one to help, so he built a mausoleum to keep Molly's corpse in, where he had access to it anytime he wanted. Chris Woodyard of The Victorian Book of the Dead brings us Mr. Moon's story from an account in the newspaper Enquirer.
The introduction to the story mentions the macabre case of Carl Tanzler, who you might recall from this post.
In double-checking the story, I found the story of the rest of Mr. Moon's life, which is almost as odd. -via Strange Company
