May 23 1907 (The date written in by hand) WILL DRAG SCIOTO From Columbus to the Ohio River for Body of Charles B. Burr Odd Fellows of Ohio will drag and search the Scioto River from Columbus to the Ohio, in the hope of finding the body of Charles B. Burr. missing director of public service and member of Dennison lodge I.O.O.F. Ivor Hughes, grand master of Ohio Odd Fellows, and A. W. Young, grand representative of the order in the state, held a conference. They and many other Odd Fellows believe that Mr. Burr committed suicide by drowning. the plan being considered is to have each town along the 125 miles of river from here to Portsmouth offer men thru its Odd Fellows lodge. One thousand men, it is believed, can be secured in this way as volunteers. This would mean approximately eight men for each mile of river of four men on each bank. They would both drag the river bed and search the banks and underbrush. Mr. Hughes, who originated the plan, said that the work would be begun just as soon as the water subsided. It will be pushed thru without delay. He declares he is positive that neither the family nor anyone else cal tell anything about the mission man. --------------------------- JUNE 7, 1907, (date written in by hand) OLDEST WOMAN IN OHIO DEAD.
