Joseph wherry Drowned.

About the 18th of january last Joseph
Wherry. of this place, went to WilmOre
for the purpose of having his pension pa
perS filled up. After leaving Wilmore he
disappeared, ana as a man was ground up
up on the railroad near Portage and could
not be identified, it was supposed that
Wherry met his death there.
On Sunday morning about 10 o'clock the
body of man was seen floating in the
Cnnemaugh about one mile west of Sum
merhill and was taken out by a number o
boys. An inquest was held on Sunday af-
ternOOn at which J. ID. Wherry. a son of
the deceased. appeared and identified the
remains as those of his father by the vest
and pants and wound on the right arm
received during the late war. The con
dition of the BODY was such as to indicate
that it had been in the water for several
months. The jury rendered verdict of
accidental drowning.
He was about ifty-six years of age and
is survived by FIVE children, his wife hav-
ing died several years ago. His remains
were inferred at WilmOre on Tuesday af-
teTnOOn.
