Publication of notice of presumption of death.

If satisfied upon the hearing that the legal presumption of death is made out, the court shall so decree and shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be inserted for two successive weeks in a newspaper published in the county and also, when practicable, in a newspaper published at, or near, the place shown in the commonwealth, where, when last heard from, the supposed decedent had his residence. The said notice shall require the supposed decedent, if alive, or any other person for him to produce to the court, within 12 weeks from the date of its last insertion, satisfactory evidence of his continuance in life.
