BODY FOUND
Corpse Taken From River at Cincinnati Is Maysville Man.
The finding of the body of Mr. William L. Schatzmann in the river at Cincinnati Sunday morning has solved a mystery and relieved the family and relatives of a great strain that has continued for nine weeks.
The manner of his disappearance was told in these columns at the time, and the forebodings entertained of his having committed suicide by drowning in the Ohio river have been verified.
The body was identified yesterday at the Cincinnati Morgue by his sister Mrs. James Hapgood, of 1577 Holman street, Covington, who identified him by his clothes and a pair of Redmans buttons.
There is something of a coincidence in the case.
He disappeared Monday morning, March 13th; was identified Monday morning, May 15th, the latter date being the anniversary of his forty-fifth birthday.
The river at the time he took the fatal plunge was almost, if not exactly, the same gage - 43 feet.
The reward of $25 offered by Wyandotte Tribe No. 3, I. O. R. M., of this city will be paid to the man who recovered the body.
Mr. John Brodt, brother-in-law of the deceased, left yesterday to bring the remains to this city and arrived here last night on C. and O. train at 10:42.
The funeral will occur tomorrow morning from the Third Street M. E. Church, with services by Presiding Elder, Rev. F. W. Harrop.
Interment in Maysville Cemetery.
