On last Tuesday afternoon, Resin Rariden of Washington township, left Reelsville for his home, carrying a supply of groceries. He did not arrive at his home that night and a search was instituted for him next day. He was tracked across the field to the bank of Walnut where he started to wade across, taking a short cut home. No track could be found where he came out on the opposite bank and a boat was procured to search for his remains, the belief being he had been drowned. The body was found on Thursday morning, a quarter of a mile below where he had started into the creek. The body lay in about 10” of water, face down. Deceased was about 50 years of age and was of unsound mind, Mr. Douglas Huffman being his guardian. Coroner McNeff held an inquest on Friday and rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts above stated.
