Description	:	Richmond Democrat, Richmond, Missouri, Nov 15, 1888 On Wednesday afternoon of last week, Alfred VanHoozer, a well-known citizen who lives one and a half miles south of Elkhorn, went to that place to do some trading.

He left for home about three o'clock, on foot carrying a bundle of window glass and some other articles, and was not seen alive anymore. He reached his farm and a little creek that runs through one of his field. Here it appears he sat down to rest and laid his bundles and walking stick down. He then either went down the bank of the creek to get water, or fell down, as there is evidence that he was in the creek. He got out on the other side, and evidently attempted to go to where he had left some hands gathering corn, and failing to find them, wandered around until he perished in his own cornfield. He was missed from home that nigh, and diligent search made for him, but he was not found until Thursday afternoon, about 24 hours after he left Elkhorn. He was somewhat addicted to drink, and how much alcohol he had bought at Elkhorn or carried out with him does not seem to be known, but there is not the least doubt that his death was the result of alcohol poison, aided by exposure to the weather, as it rained or snowed constantly during the 24 hours that followed his departure from Elkhorn. The body was warm under the arms when found, which indicated that he had only been dead a short time. A coroner's inquest was held by Squire Searey, and the jury rendered a verdict of death from unknown causes. He leaves a wife and four children, by a former marriage, two daughters and two sons, all grown, or nearly so. He was a man of a generous nature and good impulses, and when not drinking was sociable and pleasant gentleman. His sad taking off is greatly mourned by his family and friends wherever he was known. obit supplied by John Stoutimore Find A Grave #47701677
