What is alleged but unverified:

The specific events of the summer of 1915 — the epileptic seizure, the examination by Dr.

Briggs, the declaration of death, the coffin, the three preachers, the burial, the arrival of the sister, the exhumation, the sitting up, the ministers falling into the grave, the three broken ribs, the stampede of mourners.

None of these events have been corroborated by contemporaneous documentation.

No newspaper account, no medical record, no church record, no official document from 1915 or the years immediately following has been identified that confirms any aspect of the alleged events.
