    2. Teresa M. Herrmann
    3. The following article was printed in the "Gallia Times" newspaper, Wednesday August 26, 1914, Gallipolis, Ohio: "SKELETON MAN Was Found Sunday in Addison Township Woods. A gruesome find was made in the woods on Thomas REES's farm in Addison Township near the Cheshire line Sunday morning by one of Mr. Rees' boys and another young man named Harry VIARS. They had been attending Sunday school, and returning took a short cut through the woods. They stumbled upon the skeleton of a man, lying face downward in a little gully. The boys hurriedly summoned others, and word was sent to Coroner Clary at Gallipolis, who immediately went to the scene and began an investigation. It was suspected that the body was that of a patient at the Epileptic Hospital, and an investigation of the records there proved the suspicion to be correct. The body was that of Frank SCHUSTER, who had wandered away from the institution about May 20. At the time of his disappearance he was traced into the Addison neighborhood, but he could not be found. The remains were found in a gully by the side of a path, where the unfortunate man had apparently been seized with an attack of his malady and died. The skeleton was removed to Gallipolis where interment was made on Monday."
