East Liverpool Tribune
LIFELESS BODY OF EMPIRE RESIDENT IS FOUND ON RIVER BANK
Elihu McGaffick Falls Over Embankment and Freeses to Death During Night
BROTHER DIED FOUR WEEKS AGO
Special to the Tribune,
Empire, March 18—The lifeless body of Elihu McGaffick, for many years a resident of this place, was found at 6 o'clock this morning on the river bank in the upper end of the town. The body was lying in a snow bank into which he had evidently fallen from the embankment above a distance of about ten feet.
Coroner Campbell was called and took the deposition of a number of persons. He did not render a verdict before leaving town. McGaffick had been drinking hard for several days and it is the opinion of those who had seen him Saturday night that in his wanderings he had fallen over the embankment and being unable to get up froze to death during the night.
McGaffick was about 45 years old and was a butcher by trade. He has one brother, Andrew, residing in Salineville. He was a brother of G. W. McGaffick, whose death occurred four weeks ago.
The funeral will be held from the home of Edward McGaffick, in Toronto, to which place the body was taken today, tomorrow afternoon.
