The
body of Frank Long, an inmate of the County Home, was discovered in
the pond near the long bridge Wednesday afternoon by John Colby, bus
driver.
Long was sixty
years of age, and a well known character in the Township of
Woodhouse, and come to the home about two months ago, being
partially paralyzed.
He
left the home on Saturday last and went to the house of Edward
Nichol, brick mason, to spend the night. Early the next morning he
left the house, and had not been seen till his lifeless body was
taken from the pond Wednesday.
Dr.
Hayes, Coroner, decided an inquest was unnecessary, as the deceased
was insane.
Apparently
the body had been in the water for two or three days.
