• Notes

  From the "South Side Signal" of Babylon, Long Island Under the heading "SAYVILLE RECORD": Saturday, July 05, 1873 Page: 2 --Found Dead.---The dead body of the missing man, Mr. Alfred Brown, was found in the woods, about a mile from his house on Sunday morning last, and in such a putrid condition that it could with difficulty be removed to a place of burial. The 19th of June was an extremely hot day, almost too much for any man to endure, especially in the woods, where not a breath of air was stirring. The old man died from sunstroke, and apparently without a struggle. Justice Strong, assisted by Dr. Van Deinse, empaneled a jury, who rendered a verdict that death ensued from exhaustion and excessive heat. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the citizens of this place for their unceasing effort in search of the body. Especial mention could be made of a number of our people, prominent among whom stands Supervisor John Wood, who with his characteristic whole souled effort in such cases, did all in his power to stimulate and encourage..................for ten days the search of the missing man.
