FRANK BOURIL cemetery #43 From Der Nord Westen, 16 Nov. 1905: Frank Bouril has been missing since 05 Nov. and his family has asked the police to search the river near the water tower. It was there that he was last seen, and his family fears he may have fallen into the river. ************ From Der Nord Westen, 05 Apr. 1906: Our readers will remember that last Oct. 5th Frank Bouril disappeared without a trace. One knew that he had left his house, but then his trail was lost. It was feared that he had met with some misfortune or had drowned in the river. On Monday afternoon Joseph Mally and Peter Bies, two workers in the lime plant, while erecting a timber work against the ice at the nearby railroad bridge, saw a body and notified the police. Because of the long time in the water the identity could not be established. There were no wounds on the body and whether the individual died accidentally or was murdered, must be established by the coroner's inquest. The coroner's jury absolutely established that Bouril had left his home to pay a debt of $10 he owed to Ed. Mohr for some brickwork, and it was established that the dead man had two five-dollar bills in his pocket along with a $1.50 loose change. The jury rendered a verdict that BOURIL had met an accidental death.
