BODY IF NAHUM BEMIs FOUND IN BROOK.
The body of Nahum Bemis, who disap-
peared so suddenly from his home in Gas
sets last September, was found late Friday
afternoon by Arthur Giddings, a young
man who was setting traps for muskrats in
a brook about mile from the Bemis house.
Where the body was found the water was
about four feet deep and a pile of brush
concealed the body. At first it would
seem that there had been foul play as
reasons are hard to find why the body
should be so far from home, but no theory
has as yet been given either way. Mr..
Bemis left his home, as was supposed to
visit neighbor When at night he failed
to appear search was made but to no pur-
pose. His disappearance was advertised
but nothing could be learned. The ground
in that locality was searched and it seems
queer that the body was not found. Iden-
tifcation was easy as the remains were in
a fair state of preservation. Health Officer
DR.. G. w. Ray and Undertalers Adams &
Wellman We're called and the remains
We're brought at once to the North street
cemetery, where burial was made. Funeral
services We're held at the house Sunday
afternoon, Rev. H. l.. Ballou officiating.
Mr.. Bemis was 70 years of age, a veteran
of company G, 9th Vermont Infantry and
a member of Henry Post, G. A. r. He is
survived by wife.
