    3. DANIELS, DARNELL, RENGEY, TAYLOR, WAKEDAW, ZIMMER "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Tuesday, May 19, 1903 BODY FOUND AT WAKEDAW. A body which is supposed to be that of Mrs. E. E. RENGEY, who was drowned in the Kaw river in Armourdale about ten days ago while boating with Alfred TAYLOR, was found floating in the Missouri river at Wakedaw, Mo., late Sunday evening. Wakedaw is a small town about sixty-five miles east of Kansas City. Dr. WAKEDAW, mayor of the town, notified Chief of Police ZIMMER, of Kansas City, Kas., yesterday of the find and the news was transmitted to E. E. RENGEY, of Armourdale, husband of the dead woman. Yesterday afternoon Richard DANIELS, of the Daniels Bros. undertaking firm, accompanied by Mr. RENGEY and Detective DARNELL, went to Wakedaw to identify the body which was buried by the people of that town shortly after it was discovered. The body was described by the Wakedaw authorities as being that of a woman about 20 years old with auburn hair. A small round gold breastpin set with rubies and pearls was fastened at her throat and she wore patent leather slippers. Relatives here say that the description agrees in some respects with that of Mrs. RENGEY. They say that when last seen she wore a blue gingham waist with light stripes and a linen skirt with two flounces around the bottom. ================================================= (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) =================================================
