- Clements: "F B Totusek went to Wilbur on Wednesday, called by news that the body of Harry Clements, 81, former Odessa resident, had been found there Tuesday and that funeral services were to be held on Wednesday. Frank M Totusek accompanied his father to the funeral. Clements had been missing since June 23 and his body was found about a mile east of Wilbur, in some high weeds. Two boys, Bernard Tarbert, 11, and Raymond Tarbert, 13, found the body. County officers were called and the body was identified by papers in a billfold. There was about $65 in the wallet. No inquest was held. Clements left the Best nursing home there June 23 for a short visit in town, and never was seen again. A search was made here and at other communities where he had lived, Grant County officers also searching. AS he was known to have money in his possession, it was feared he might have met with foul play." (Odessa Record: 11-13-1947) http://wagenweb.org/lincoln/obitsodessavicinitycthrud.htm
