In 1899, Salome Nicely, a Confederate veteran, passed away at Ney, Defiance County, Ohio
About a week after Salome had been interred at Moats Cemetery (Delaware Twp. Defiance County). One of the family happened to remember, that the deceased used his hollow wooden leg for a bank. The body was then exhumed and the leg yielded about forty dollars and a thousand dollar life insurance policy.
