In the early days of the Moravians in Bethlehem, PA, there were men that made a good living supplying dead bodies to medical schools. Joe Sturgis, Jr. was the night watchman for Lititz and when the Collegium asked Joe to look in the Corpse House frequently at night to guard against mercenary “corpse snatchers” he protested violently. He was a brave man but not that brave. However he had to agree or lose his job. How well he did it is not known, but we can be certain he did it very quickly. --Lititiz Public Library
