MISSING MAN'S BODY IS FOUND MONDAY

Alney Tucker Had Been Missing Three Weeks; Suicide Suspected

The body of Alney Tucker, 58 years old, who disappeared about three weeks ago from the home of his nephew, Elisha Atherton, at Livermore, was found Monday afternoon, buried in mud, by a party that had been dragging Rough River, since Tucker's hat was found on the river bank yesterday.

The body was found by Marion Downs.

The theory is that Tucker ended his life, as he had been in ill health for several years. When the body was discovered by Downs Monday afternoon it was removed to the home of Mr. Atherton in Livermore and prepared for burial.

The sudden disappearance of Mr. Tucker created a sensation in McLean County and every effort had been made for two weeks to find some trace of the missing man.

Besides his nephew, Mr. Atherton, with whom he had made his home for any years, he is survived by F. H. Thomasson, also a nephew and Mrs. W. D. Haley and Mrs. R. J. Milton of Owensboro, who were nieces, Mrs. Oscar Tucker of Owensboro was a sister-n-law.
