An Elmira, New York woman sold the wrong turtle at rummage sale. She is now desperately seeking the woman who bought a ceramic turtle from her on Saturday. At the time of the sale, she was unaware that the large, brown turtle contained the ashes of her husband’s previous wife.
The ceramic turtle was inadvertently included in items at her rummage sale Saturday at 811 Grove Street, Elmira.
If you know the woman who bought the turtle or have any information to share, please send an e-mail message to jcleary@stargazette.com.
Update: the ashes and the turtle have been returned. See http://www.suntimes.com/news/nation/501036,CST-NWS-turt08.article.
