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.
