Found His Bones.
William Ruehle Identifies Geredot Who was Drowned Here in 1869.
Last Saturday, while a couple of men were digging in a sewer trench near the opera house they unearthed a box which contained the bones of a man. William Ruehle, who is an old resident of the Soo, identified the remains as that of Henry Geredot, who kept a saloon on Water street in 1869 and says the man was drowned in the river in April of that year. Mr. Ruehle was at that time custom inspector at this port,and Corporal Cloit, a lieutant, and two privates from Fort Brady and Geredot engaged a boat from Mr. Rueble to go to Canada and while returning the boat was capsized in some manner and Geredot and Corporal Clore were drowned. Geredot was buried in the old grave yard which was located where the city hall now stands. Mr. Ruehle was present at the funeral and knew just where the grave was located. To make the identification doubly sure there were hanging to the feet of the corpse, which was moved to the city cemetery Saturday, sewed boots which Mr. Reuhle had made for the man a few weeks previous to his untimely end. It is thought that many more graves were neglected when the transfer was made from the old to the new burying grounds.
