"House of Paprikash” at the corner of Exchange and Main streets, was last
seen at about 8 p.m. Tuesday at a downtown bar where he had cashed his
paycheck. Police declined to identify
the bar.
Lower said the victim's family had last seen
him Tuedsay morning when he left for work.
He said Morris' wallet was not found at the scene and indicated that
"robbery could be the motive, but we are not sure."

1:30 p.m. The car was parked on Bass

Alfred was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Edwin of
Marietta and George of Lewisville; one sister, Mrs. Alva, Pauline, Christman of

Marion of Marietta.
He approached life with honesty and a strong sense of right and wrong.
He never compromised his values, always chose to do the 'right" thing,
without regard for any personal hardships that might result. His faith gave him
the strength to overcome any difficult.
Alfred was not afraid of hard work. Although, as a farmer, he was faced
with physical labor, long days, and the uncertainty that comes from being at
the mercy of Mother Nature. He seemed to be at peace working with the land and
caring for his animals. He savored the joys this way of life offered. He
believed in charity, always willing to share anything he owned, or opened his
home to anyone in need. He never met a stranger. Alfred considered himself to
be a wealthy man because he had so much of the things he valued most in life;
his family and friends. He was grateful for his many blessings. His integrity
and kindness served as an inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to know
him.
The family was received at the Watters Funeral Home, Woodsfield from 2
to 9 p.m. February 1 where services were held February 2 at 2 p.m. with the
