Neighborhood notes recounts of deaths and odd events
Mr Jones Overhules died last week from blood poisoning after a New Year’s Day arm injury. He was nearly 63, born in Virginia, moved here 56 years ago, and left substantial estate to wife and four children. The funeral drew many, including his elderly mother. A dig near a house unearthed two infant skeletons in a barrel, possibly placed eight years ago, with suspicions of foul play. A Kansas Street runaway injured Mr Dellinger, wrecked a wagon, and caused multiple cuts and bruises. Local residents and visitors from Tremont City and Darke County moved about town as new post office applicants emerged.
