BODY OF A. CLEARY FOUND
The body of A. S. Cleary, formerly of North Loup, who disappeared from Forest Home mountain resort in California, August 28, 1924, was found by two young men hikers on August 16, 1926.
The body was discovered part way down the steep slope of a mountain where it had lodged in a fallen tree and remained for two years undisturbed, although repeated searching parties had scoured the mountain sides in all directions.
John and Charley Cleary of Santa Ana, were notified and they immediately went to San Bernardino, and in company with the coroner and others, got the body and identified it.
Mr. Cleary had evidently followed a mountain path and climbed to quite a height when he either fell or slipped, or else suffered an attack of heart failure. The body was in a dried and mummified condition which made recognition possible.
