REMAINS OF WOMAN
FOUND IN The LAKE.
Body Later Identified, With
a Degree OF Certainty,
as that OF Mrs. A. Rief.

The body of a woman, aged about
forty eight years. was found floating IN
the lake in shallow water, near the beach
at the south pier, last Sunday afternoon.
The discovery was made by little boy
named Johnny Loef, who, with several
companions, had been playing at the
beach near the pier mentioned. The
children hastened to make the discovery
known and a telephone message was
sent to the police station. Two officers
responded, and the corpse was taken TO
the undertaking rooms of Nogelsang d
Murphy. The body was found to be
clothed in a dark skirt and a light
waist. There We're shoes on the feet
and gloves on the hands. There were
no marks of violence on the remains.
The Indications We're that the case was
one of accidental drowning, or one of
self destruction The face w as SO badly
decomposed and changed that it could
not be recognized even by relatives and
friends.
But the discovery of purse at the
beach near the place where the corpse
was found led to the Identification of
the remains. The purse contained four
receipts obtained by Mrs Anna Ref
from business men Of this city. The
purse was found by John Fricke several
days before the body was found, but
Fricke did not report the find until
after the discovery of the corpse. A
cape and ladys hat We're also found at
the beach near the place where the body
was found floating on the water. These
articles, as we'll as parts of the clothing
on the body of the corpse, were identi-
fled by Mrs. Edward Heise as being those
of her mother, Mrs Anna Rief. Mr..
Heise also identified the hair and the
height of the body rs being that of his
mother.in. law. The body was taken to
thereceiving vault in Evergreen GENE
tery Monday afternoon, and the deced
ent 5 children residing ont of the county
We're notified by wire.
Mrs. Anna Rief was born and reared
in this county and lived all her life in
the county. Her husband, Peter Ref,
died about ten years ago The family
resided on farm at Refs Mill. About
year ago Mrs Anna Ref disposed of
her farm to her son-in-law, Mr.. Kiel
Since then she had been making her
home, off and on, with her daughter,
and on-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Heise of this city. She was last seen
at the Heise home on Tuesday Sept.
IS, when she said that she contemplated
making trip to Amigo to visit her son
Leonard, who resides on farm four
miles from that city. She had not been
in good health for some time, brlt she
had never exhibited any signs of de.
spondency. She is survived by six
children. They are: Mrs. Edward
Heise, this city; Peter Ref, Chicago;
Leonard, Amigo; Joseph Kossuth; Mrs.
