Ulysses Grant Kaiser, 74, resident of the Huston community fro the past 30 years, who disappeared from his home on the evening of Saturday, Jan. 29, was found dead in a drain ditch about a mile from his home Saturday. Death was due to drowning, Coroner W. D. Talley, said today. The body was discovered by Berdis Ray Stephens, 16, Huston farm youth, as he was hunting along the drain ditch three-fourths of a mile east of Huston school. According to reports here, the boy noticed some clothing floating on top of the water. He reported the find to his father, stating that it might be a human body, but the elder discounted the story. The boy induced his father to go with him Sunday afternoon to the scene and in poking the clothing with a stick, they saw a hand protruding from the water. County Coroner Talley and Sheriff A. A. Moline were immediately summoned and the body was brought to the Peckham chapel in Caldwell. Funeral Tuesday Ulysses Grant Kiser, 75, was born in Indiana March 28, 18969. He is survived by his wife Amanda; two daughters, Mrs. Mable ? of Caldwell, Mrs. Merle ?grove of Boise; one son O. H. Kiser; five grandchildren and ? great-grandchildren; and a sister, Mrs. Laura Fields of Rushville, Ind. He was a member of the Friends Church of Bethel, Ind.
