[Waterloo Courier, June 7, 1882]

DROWNED. — News was received recently in this city, that Thos. Riley, who formerly lived in Cedar Township, in this county, but of late has been a resident of Butler County, was drowned lately.

He wanted to cross a creek which was swollen by rains, to visit his daughter, and stopped at a house and left a bundle; saying that he would call for it when he came. He did not call for it, and after several days his daughter was notified and search was instituted which resulted in finding the body in the creek.

Mr. Riley was a man 60 years of age, and leaves several children.
