Frederick C. The body of Frederick C. Ghering, 34, who had
evidently been dead for two weeks, was found in a shanty on an island in the
Allegheny river, about 1 1/2 miles south of Tionesta, at 4:30 Saturday
afternoon. A 20-30 rifle lay beside the body and Coroner E.W. Peifer of Tionesta
decided the man had shot himself either accidentally or with intent and declared
an inquest unnecessary. The body was brought to the F. H. Flanders funeral home
in Titusville and will be taken to the Jamison Corners church in Cherrytree
township this afternoon, where services will be held at 3 p.m., with interment
in the church cemetery. The body was discovered by George Ghering of Cherrytree
township, a cousin, who, with his wife, went to call on the man. They took a
supply of provisions for him knowing that he lived alone on the island. A
rowboat had to be used to get from the main shore to the island. The cousins
were greatly shocked to find the man dead. They have visited him from time to
time during the past year, the last time about a month ago, and always found him
in good spirits. Born in Cherrytree
