Newspaper article Thurs., 10/30/1890

A body was found in the creek below Cameron, last Sunday, and the Coroner summoned. The body was identified as John Hout, who had been missing several days, and search was being made for him by his friends. He had been somewhat out of his mind lately and had probably wandered off and was drowned by accident. John was well known by the people of this county as a harmless, good fellow, but drink was his great enemy and caused his ruin. He was for several years an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Erie.

Died on the leg of west span trestle, known as Richey Bridge about 1 mile east of Cameron on Oct. 22, 1890.

Discharged: August 4, 1863 by reason of expiration of service.
