Emlenton Area Man Drowns --- Body of Carl Cripps Found in Strip Mine.
A 70-year-old, partially blind Emlenton district man drowned when he fell into an abandoned strip mine pit in Allegheny Township near Sedwick Mills yesterday, Coroner J. Clinton Atwell reported. The body of Carl Cripps, Emlenton R.D. 2, was found floating in 10 to 15 feet of water on the farm of Miss Flossie Cubbins, a mile from Route 38, north of Cherry Valley, at 9 p.m. yesterday. He had been missing since 1:30 p.m. when he left to go to a store. The road runs between two water-filled strip mine pits, Coroner Atwell said. Members of the Emlenton Volunteer Fire Company and neighbors found the body shortly after they began to search for Cripps. His body was discovered by Harold Sedwick and Harry Todd, and firemen used hooks to bring it to shore, about 500 feet from the Cubbins home.
Cripps, who had resided at his farm home near Emlenton all of his life, had been visiting Miss Cubbins yesterday. He had only partial vision and was retired on a blind pension, the coroner said. Cripps had raised fee, did some butchering and at one time was an agent for the Empire State Nursery of New York. He was a member of the Big Bend Methodist Church. Cripps was the son of Newton and Clara Neely Cripps. Survivors include several first and second cousins. The body was removed to the Criswell Funeral Home in Emlenton. Deputy Coroner Al W. Lehnerd said Cripps death was the sixth drowning in Butler county this year.
