FIND BODY OF MISSING MILLTOWNER

Believed That Aged Man Was Attacked With a Paralytic Stroke – Boy Scouts Aided in Search.

MILLTOWN, May 13.-Nicholas Heimel, sixty years old, of South Main Street, Milltown, who left his home shortly after the noon hour meal Thursday, was found drowned yesterday afternoon near Clancy’s Dock on a stream running in from the Raritan River on the estate owned by John Newmeyer, east of Weston’s Mills.

The searching party of police and Boy Scouts worked faithfully all day, in addition to a number of residents who made up a party and searched the woods in the near vicinity of the pumping station, the place where he was last seen.

The Boy Scouts had searched the surrounding property of the Newmeyer estate once during the day, but on their return Mr. Newmeyer and several other men joined in the search and soon the body of the missing man was found in the water near the dock.

The police immediately notified his wife and family.

Mr. Heimel only recently sold his farm on the outskirts of this place and moved to South Main Street to live with his son John. He had not been enjoying the best of health and was greatly worried over financial affairs, however, seemingly not really despondent. He partook of dinner at noon Thursday, and immediately afterward started out for a walk.

Failing to return late in the afternoon, his family became alarmed and soon a searching party was made up and at work.

Councilman Jos. Herbert, chairman of the police committee, sent Marshals Buehl and Stutz to work and during the night and all day yesterday carried provisions to them and others that were assisting so that no time would be lost.

There is much credit due the Boy Scouts under the leadership of Albert Heim, and the police department for their diligent efforts in finding the old man.

The deceased is survived by his wife and two sons, Conrad and John, all of this place. He also leaves a daughter, residing in Trenton.

Coroner John V. Hubbard made an investigation and expresses the belief that Mr. Heimel was attacked with a paralytic stroke, and fell into the stream. The deceased had suffered a stroke several months ago. He was accustomed to taking long walks and usually went unaccompanied.

The funeral will be held from his late home, 372 Main Street, Milltown, on Monday afternoon, and Undertaker Hubbard will direct.
