The body of Elmer E. Schwartzlose, 68 year old Madison township farmer, was found in a creek near his home about three miles west of Parkersburg last Friday evening.
The age man, who was partially paralyzed, had apparently gone to nearby Sugar Creek to fish, as fishing poles were found near the scene. The body was found by his son, and it could not be determined whether he had fallen into the stream of just how he came to his death.
Coroner P. E. Sutton held an inquest at the scene, with the jury returning a verdict of death due to accidental drowning.
Mr. Schwartzlose, who had lived his entire life in the West Salem and Bone Gap communities, is survived by three sons, Emmett, with whom he resided, Melvin Schwartzlose of Calhoun and Nelson Schwartzlose of Bone Gap, and three daughters, Mrs. Audrey Patterson of Bone Gap, Miss Ada Schwartzlose of Bone Gap and Bonnie Evans of Tulsa, OK. Several brothers also survive.
Funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon at the Eureka church, south of Claremont, with burial in the nearby cemetery.
