The body was not recovered until Sunday morning and was badly decomposed. He left a wife but no children. The deceased will be remembered by many Newton people. Mrs. Oscar Efnor and Mrs. Robt. Efnor are sisters of the deceased, who for some time was a clerk in the drug store of O.N. Wagley about three years ago.
