Risher told me the story of Leonidas death many years ago. I was curious all these years but never saw or heard another thing about it. I posted a message on the Risher forum (genweb), I think regarding the old family story prior to my trip. Bob Williams replied with an index entry for the Press & Standard for the death of Lee M. Risher. I used that to look it up in the microfilm records and there it was. My great grandparents story was verbatim the story in the paper except they weren't sure which son had done it. I'm so curious about what happened to Chalmers, but unfortunately the indexes are only death, birth, marriage, so there was no other listing for Chalmers Risher. I would have had to scan subsequent newspapers by hand, which I would gladly have done except that I ran out of time, the library was closing and it was my last day in town. Perhaps a descendant can pick it up and let us know what happened to Chalmers. I thought the bond was rather high for 1929 at $2000! Interesting stuff... -Bev
