Gavert Monsees Is Found Dead Body Is Located By Neighbors Searching For Him Gavert Monsees, 66 yeaxf old, was found dead shortly befora noon yesterday by neighbors nine miles southeast of Sedalia beneath a culvert known as the McGee branch on the Homer Ball farm. His death was believed to have been caused from exposure after he had fallen from the culvert onto a small gravel bar.

Dr. W. T. Bishop, coroner, with Sheriff R. Bothwell and Officer Howard Nelson drove to the scene and view'ed the body.

Dr. Bishop after making a preliminary examination said he had been dead, he believed, for more than a day. Mr. Monsees was found by his neighbor E. R.

Black, on whose farm he had a small cabin and where he resided, along with H. J. Billings, a farmer who with neighbors had been searchig all morning fcr Mr. Monsees. Mr.

Black said that Mr. Monsees had been ill several days ago and that he, with W. A. Bohon had sat up with him the greater part of one night. He appeared to be much better and left.

About midnight Monday, Me, Monsees went to the Black and stopped a few minutes. At thfe time he was carrying a shotgun. After he disappeared nothing was heard of him. Mr. Black upon finding Mr.

Monsees had not stayed his cabin called Sheriff Bothwell who went to the scene and spent the greater part of yesterday morning searching the woods nearby the Monsees home. No Inquest Necessary Mr. Black and Mr. Billings had followed his track over to a hill southeast of the Black farm, and were doubling back when they noticed Mr. Monsees lying by the culvert.

Dr. Bishop said he did not believe an inquest was necessary, as it was evident Mr. Monsees had either fallen off the culvert or had fallen on the gravel bar while wandering about, injuring his head. It appeared as if he was unable to get up and had lain on the gravel and died of exposure. Mr.

Monsees i.s a brother of Fred Monsees of 519 East Walnut street in Sedalia. He is survived by number of nieces and nephews. The body was brought to the Ewing Funeral home. No arrangements have been made for the funeral. SPRINGFIELD, Jan.
