  Niagara Gazette - 6/1885 Philip Zeiger of La Salle, brother of L. Zeiger, sixty-three years of ago, was drowned at La Salle Saturday evening. Mr. Zeiger resided on a farm a short distance, this side of La Salle. About three years ago while riding in a wagon he was thrown out backward, by the tipping of a seat. and.striking on his head, received injuries which seriously effected his memory. It was his habit to take long walks, and Saturday morning lie started out, going first to La Salle, then" to Suspension Bridge, Pletcher Corners and, Lewiston, returning to La Salle some time in the evening. One of Mr. Zeiger's son's-in-law is engaged in building a ltfjdgc across Cayuga Creek, and it is supposed thnt he went on to the bridge, and either walked off or .sitting down, dropped to sleep from fatigue, and fell off. He was first miss- ed Saturday afternoon, and traced over the route mentioned above. After it was found he had retuned to LaSalle, search was made in the creek and his body recovered early Sunday morning. Coroner Eisheimer held an inquest Mon- day.
