The remains of the late J. C. Althaber were found yesterday by Char. Angell, on the Witheers place about half a mile from the bridge on the little Walluski.
On Friday, December 25th, 1885, J. C. Althaber, an old and well known resident of this city, left the residence of one of his sons-in-law, where he had been staying, and wandered off, under the impression probably, that he was going to meet and go hunting with his son Frank. He was last seen on the following Monday, the 28th of December, and though the most exhaustive search was made and diligent inquiry made, no trace could be obtained of his whereabouts. From the position of the body it is evident that the unfortunate man wandered on till he fell exhausted, and perished from exposure." The Morning Astorian, 31 Mar 1887
