Mortal
remains of victims of the 1935 hurricane being cremated: Snake
Creek, Florida.
After
the big storm, active Army units were assigned to search the
shoreline, tidal creeks, and other likely areas where bodies
might have been blown or washed up in the final stages of
the hurricane.
The boxes being burned are actually makeshift caskets, containing
the victims' bodies. Over 350 veterans were thus cremated
on the banks of Snake Creek, between Islamorada and Tavernier.
