Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, May 19, 1883 Corpus Christi Day has, to our knowledge, been celebrated nowhere in this county except in the German Settlement, but next Thursday the feast will be celebrated in town also. The young "Progressive Cornet Band" who, by the by, have of late made commendable progress, will hold a social picnic in GROBE's Grove. Everything conductive to the comfort of visitors will be provided. All are welcome! On Friday night last Dolph SEYSSLER caught a floater in the river and the coroner, Gottl. RHEAM having immediately been notified of the fact, proceeded to summon a jury and held an inquest over the body. It was found that the man's neck was broken and that he had been in the water about 7 or 8 days. The fact that a stiff-brimmed black hat was found buttoned up under his vest, led to the belief that the man was at work on an elevation when the accident occurred, and it is therefore supposed that he was an employe on the government works above and had used this precaution to keep his hat from being blown into the water by the wind, that he probably worked on a pile driver, lost his balance and fell into the river. He was about 5 ft. 8 in. high, weighed about 165 pounds, was about 35 years old, had sandy hair and smooth face, was dressed in black striped cassimere pants, checkered woolen coat, a pair of new half-skin shoes No. 6, white and blacked striped calico collar with a pearl cuff-button doing service as a collar-button. A strip of red flannel was the only thing found in his pocket. The verdict was according to the above facts and suppositions. The remains were interred in the city graveyard. County Court was in session this week since Monday, all the Judges being present. It was at first thought that Judge HUCK would not be able to attend, having been summoned for the Grand Jury of the U.S. Court now in session at St. Louis, but the judge nevertheless, succeeded in obtaining a release and made his appearance in due time.
