JOHN STUDER DEAD
His body found in Wills Creek after
a Search of about 40 hours
John Studer, a well known farmer of Adams Township left his home last Thursday morning stating that he was going to the farm of Mrs J W Bell not far from the hamlet of Wills Creek, to look after some shocks of oats, which he believed might have had the cap sheaves blown off. He stated that it would probably be one o'clock in the afternoon before his return. When he did not return at the time appointed, his family gave little notice for the oats field was more than two miles away and when he went to his he passed the store in Wills Creek. It was quite natural for them to believe that he had stopped at the store or had found more work to do than he first expected. But when he did not return at supper time his son A P Studer went to look for him. Not finding him at the store a party of men started out to look for him. The search was continued until midnight without learning his whereabouts. Early Friday morning it was resumed and night came again with no better results than the night before. On Saturday morning P A Studer accompanied by Oscar Tyson started down Wills Creek in a boat in order to make a through search along the creek. When within about a quarter of a mile of where the creek empties into the Muskingum River his body was found in about four feet of water. The Coroner of Coshocton County was called by telephone and after viewing the remains pronounced that death was due to drowning The body was placed in charge of Clyde Wheeler undertaker at Conesville and prepared for burial. While the exact cause and manner of John Studer's death is hidden from human eyes and must always remain somewhat of a mystery, yet there are many things which indicate that he became diseased in the mind and sought relief in ending his life by drowning. The fact that his track was seen where he had walked in to the creek and that his hat was found neatly folded and placed inside his pants, together with some rather peculiar expressions he had recently made, all point to the theory that he took his own life. John Studer was about 58 years of age. His wife died several years ago, but since that time his sister and daughter had been keeping house for him. He was widely known and well respected. His courteous manner made made him many friends and had given him popularity with many prominent citizens of Coshocton and Muskingum Counties. He leaves a family of four sons and one daughter, all at home excepting M E Studer who resides in Pittsburgh. Four sisters also survive him. Funeral services were conducted Sunday at the St Paul Lutheran Church by Rev H T Weber and the remains were interred in the cemetery at that place.
