The jury by me summoned returned the following verdict: "Deceased came to his death by drowning, or some cause unknown to this jury." The body was dressed in a full suit of cavalry clothes, with the stripes of an orderly Sergeant on the sleeves of the jacket. He was 5 feet 10 inches high, dark hair and long dark beard, mixed with gray, and supposed to be about 45 or 50 years old. By papers found upon his body it was supposed he belonged to a Michigan cavalry regiment, and that his name was Samuel Boddey. He was interred in the city cemetery of New Albany. John Sinex, C. F. C.
