Mystery: 145 year old Tiny golden coffin found with young blonde girl inside it beneath a San Francisco home

Construction workers found this 145-year-old lead-and-bronze coffin of a young blonde girl buried under a San Francisco home they were remodeling earlier this month 
A young girl, buried 145 years ago in a bronze coffin that was recently discovered underneath a San Francisco home. Construction workers were remodeling Ericka Karner's childhood home in the Richmond District when they hit the lead-and-bronze coffin buried underneath the concrete garage.


The three-foot casket's two windows revealed the perfectly preserved skin and long blonde hair of the girl, who is believed to have died when she was three-years-old.  
It is believed the girl was one of the 30,000 people who were buried in the city's Odd Fellows Cemetery, which was active for 30 years before it was forced to shut in 1890. 


The 180,000 bodies were moved to a Colma burial plot in the 1920s to allow for redevelopment - but the little girl in the long white dress and lavender flowers in her hair was left behind.
