Edith Howard Cook's face is famously known for being remarkably preserved after she died in 1876 at the age of two years old. She was buried in a lead-lined coffin that helped preserve her body, and she was interred in a San Francisco cemetery. In 1979, her coffin was exhumed in order to move her to a new cemetery, and it was discovered that her face was still recognizable, with her light blond hair and delicate features still visible. The preservation of her face and body gave researchers a rare glimpse into the past, as they were able to study the clothing and material culture of the time period as well. Today, Edith Howard Cook's preserved face is a well-known symbol of the eerie and unusual, as well as a reminder of the fragility of life and the power of nature to preserve even the smallest details of history.
