HE DIED ALL ALONE

Henry Boyer Had Apparently Been Dead For Some Time When Found.

Henry Boyer, who lived with his wife and two sons at 3723 17th street, and who has been looking after a farm on the Cheyenne bottoms for G. N. Moses, was found dead in the house on the farm Wednesday afternoon.
Frank Harmison, who lives near the place went over there Wednesday to see Mr. Boyer, and not finding him about made an investigation. Things did not look just right about the place and Mr. Harmison managed to get a look in the house and saw the man lying on the bed dead. He immediately notified the coroner, Dr. Morrison, who authorized Justice of the Peace Stanley Prindle, of Hosisington, to hold an inquest, which was done Wednesday evening. The verdict of the corner's jury was that the deceased came to his death from natural causes.
Mr. Boyer had lived with his wife and family in Great Bend for some time, owning their home on 17th street. Both of the sons are away from home at this time, one of them having gone away with Myron Gilmore a short time ago and the other is working in the western part of the state.
No arrangements have been made so far for the funeral that we know of, but the body will be brought to Great Bend today.

Because of the Flu Epidemic at that time, her body could not be sent back to Kansas do to the borders between the states being closed.
