ers Near Greenwood Lake-Died
Of Heart Disease.

Paterson, N. jim the thick woods
near Greenwood lake. hunters came
across the body Of Richard Duryea Of
Brooklyn. DR.. Robert Armstrong,
county physicion. who viewed the
body. said that death was probably
due to heart disease and exposure.
It is believed that Duryea. who had
gone to visit his brother, got of at
the wrong station and lost his way.
At first the police were inclined to
believe that the man had been slain.
but this theory was quickly dispelled
when $S4 and a valuable diamond ring
were found on him. The police then
became satisfied that the man had
wandered into the woods and had
failed to find his way out. The place
where the body was found is seldom
visited by anyone else than hunters.
Duryea was 40 years old. He lived
with his wife, Mrs. Margaret Duryca,
at PIG Stuyvesant avenue. Brooklyn.
