hood thought they heard cries for help.
The body was found face downward with
his hands crossed at his chest. Mr.. Burchs
money and watch were not disturbed and
there is no evidence of violence. The
body was well preserved
Burch is survived by seven sons, all re-
siding in Cumberland. except one in
Hardy county, w. Va. Ebert o. Burch.
a son, is q merchant. Mr.. Burch left
Cumberland nineteen days ago for North
Branch to work. Later his tools and
blouse were found. 1t is thought he be-
came bewildered and was overcome by
the cold. For two weeks the river was
dragged and the country secured.
